So its ok because he decided to have another public tantrum?

I don't know whether they asked him to delete the tweet or whether he realised it probably wasn't the best thing to have said and did it himself.

As Knip has said, but the key thing was that Lewis said "WTF" at the end of his tweet, which clearly showed anger and frustration at the team and their thinking.

After qual he said he did not like the new rear wing and decided to use the old one.

Whitmarsh said that he chose to remove yesterdays tweets, but that they had asked him today to delete the telemetary one.

Every time you get high hopes that Hamilton has moved on and grown up, he goes back a step. If he had half a brain he would have been untouchable. Luckily for the rest of the grid he struggles to count his fingers.

I hope he gets' through the first couple of corners and can fly.

Whitmarsh has said that it was a team decision and not really down to Lewis:

"We are a team - so we make these choices together," Whitmarsh told Sky Sports News.

"On Friday we had virtually no running, yesterday morning we just had one hour. In that hour we wanted to compare tyres, fuel loads, aerodynamic setups, so the data we had was compromised. Lewis wasn't comfortable with the new wing, so we made the decision to go back to the old one.

So it would explain him having a bit of a rant about the decision, as it clearly wasn't really his.

If the blistering tyre issue materialises it might bode well for LH.

His other deleted tweet was:

“Damn,” he added. “Jenson has the new rear wing on, I have the old. I lose 4 tenths just on the straight. Jenson should win easy with that speed.”

The helicopter pilot is a mentalist, he is getting really low!!

Telemetry data is interesting!!

I just can't see past a Button win, he was superb yesterday but i'd LOVE a Sauber to win, preferably Perez.

I just realised Petrov looks like 5UB.

With high tyre wear you've gotta expect a lotus and a sauber on the podium or there abouts.

The tweet originally had "WTF" instead of "damn" which he changed.

I don't see everyone getting around the first lap in one piece.
