Hamilton: “They should lift the ban on giving passes”

The episode that perhaps most characterized the 2013 Singapore GP was the passage that Alonso gave to Webber at the end of the race, after he had had to park his Red Bull on fire, resulting in a reprimand for the Spaniard and a ten-place grid penalty to be served in Korea for the Australian.

Privileged witness to the story, Lewis Hamilton, who as soon as he arrived at the ring, told the media: “I was doing my return lap, when coming out of the corner I found Fernando stopped in the center of the track and I got scared. At that point I decided to pass him to the right. Luckily Mark didn't cross that way otherwise I would have hit him. Beyond this it is nice to see certain gestures, I remember in particular Mansell and Senna in 1991 at Silverstone. Of course, there's no point in doing it on the fly, in any case in my opinion they should lift the ban."
