Lewis frustrated by other drivers; Taste of own medicine, perhaps?

Lewis Hamilton reckons the biggest problem at the new Valencia Grand Prix circuit is not getting to know the track but the etiquette of his rival drivers.

The Briton ended up fifth overall on the first day of practice for this weekend's European GP and, although happy with the track, he was not so pleased with the way good laps were getting spoilt by other racers deliberately slowing down to create gaps for themselves in traffic.

From http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/69970

There is a phrase about pots and kettles, although in this PC world I'd probably be accused of racism if I used it to relate to Hamilton.

Some drivers just back up into you. They take advantage of the fact they have a small gap behind them and don't care about who's following.

I bet Mark Webber enjoyed reading that. <doh>

A fine example of the 'Kettle and Pot' that Red was talking about...

They should be very worried slowing down in front of him, he's already run into the back of one driver who stopped for a red light <whistle>
