http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/130720...k-request.html One of Briton Hamilton's bosses, however, does not agree. Norbert Haug, competition chief for the team's engine partner Mercedes, said Hamilton's radio call was ‘in order’.

Hamilton finished the race 18th and it was later discovered that the MP4-24 suffered damaged to the upper floor and brake duct making progress from the back of the pack impossible.

Isn't Lauda being a little sensational, and over-critical?
Lewis simply asked a question. It's not his decesion to make, but with the engine and gearbox rules,
coupled with the fact that the macs seem to be comming up with some solutions.
If it was terminal aero damage why waste them as Mac could move up in the WCC standings/money if things come right!
Perhaps the team was thinking that the car would come right later in the race?
