Mike Gascoyne: “Hamilton’s fist waving totally unnecessary” 

Force India’s Technical Officer Mike Gascoyne, has criticized Lewis Hamilton for the ‘fist waving’ against Giancarlo Fisichella during the Bahrain Grand Prix, last Sunday. While Hamilton was trying to recover positions following his collision with Fernando Alonso, the Briton waved his fist on Takuma Sato and later in the race on Giancarlo Fisichella.

“I don’t know why he did that,” said Gascoyne to Motorsport Aktuell. “Fisichella was fighting with him for position, and he can’t expect to just be let past. The gesture was totally unnecessary, so it was especially good to be in front of him at the end.”
