There was then an extraordinary exchange between Hamilton and the correspondent of French newspaper L’Equipe, when Lewis was asked whether he thought he could do whatever he liked so long as he apologised.
The journalist, Anne Giuntini, said to Hamilton: “You never showed him clearly that you would give him the track free.”
To which Lewis countered: “What do you want me to do, put the indicator on?”
“You know exactly...” said Giuntini.
“I did the best job I could to get out of the way,” Hamilton insisted. “And I did apologise to him if I did get in his way.”
Giuntini continued: “Is that what you call the best job?”
“Yes,” replied Hamilton.
“As a sportsman?” she persisted.
“Yes,” he retorted. “How are you at your job? Are you the best at your job? You have never made mistakes...no?”
