London, May 11 (ANI): Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has rejected claims from Red Bull rival Mark Webber that he should have been penalised for his off-the-track overtaking maneuver on Mercedes' Nico Rosberg in the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Hamilton, who finished eighth in last month's formula race, passed Rosberg off the track as the German veered wildly across the race track to try and keep his position.
Webber tried to raise issue in a drivers' briefing, in which according to him 'neither driver was punished'.
"I was surprised Lewis was allowed to keep his position," the Daily Mail quoted Webber, as saying.
However, Hamilton retaliated to Webber's comment by saying. "'Mark is probably one of the most, if not the most, outspoken individual here, so, that is the least I expect from him. I'm a racer and I didn't feel I was in the wrong."
"'Everyone has a right to their own opinions but it doesn't mean they are right and it doesn't have to affect me in any way at all. You can't see from the camera angles whether I was alongside, but I know I was," he added. (ANI)
