Lewis telemetry data tweet - fair gamesmanship or spoilt brat?

[F1fanaticBD]

How come he had done such thing, showing the telemetry to the world. Its beyond childish stupidity, and for me beyond words. What was he trying to say? Its you bloody team-mate for God's sake Lewis, and its just another qualifying in the season, not a season ending grand prix where the championship will be decided between you and him.

Hope you keep your composure Lewis.. Don't be another Nelson Piquet Jr.

He's no Piquet Jr BD.I was one of the many  that thought Piquet was
a cry baby rat but after a few years I've came to the conclusion he
had a legitimate excuse.He lost more than Alonso,Flavio,or Renault
gained

He's a spoiled brat. He got used to being quick while Jenson struggled and just hated to see the tables turned. He's angry at the team for choosing the wrong wing and anxious to show the world that it's the wing that's the difference and not that Jens is a better driver. Given the way he's behaving, I would seriously consider dropping him if I were McLaren. This is a really serious breach of security. Whitmarsh needs to make it clear that this behavior must stop.

Somewhere else I read that his approaches to Ferrari and RBR have been ignored.  Mclaren is his only chance unless he thinks Mercedes will take him to the top, but again, they might not want him.

Mclaren should hand him a contract to sign and stop negotiating.

I find it hard to fathom that an F1 driver of Hamilton's calibre would actually release top-secret telemetry data to the public, even in the midst of contract negotiations. Has anyone speculated that this could be a classic case of disinformation with Whitmarsh and Hamilton playing agents provocateurs?

Interesting speculation! But I think it's simply a case of Hamilton not thinking. We've seen him mouth off before without applying his brain, notably after Monaco with the 'Maybe it's because I'm black' comment. I think this was the same, just with Twitter. He's immature. Lucky for him he's quick.
