Formula 1 driver Robert Doornbos has sided with world champion Lewis Hamilton over the yellow flag controversy that emerged during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.

“Nico lifted and said it was 20kph slower but he can say what he wants, it was still a dangerous situation,” the Dutchman told the Ziggo Sport Totaal broadcaster.
“Waved double yellows mean you should be able to stop, not improve your lap and certainly not set the fastest lap of the whole weekend,” Doornbos insisted.
“So I totally agree with Lewis Hamilton that it gives the categories below F1 totally the wrong message,” he added.
