SILVERSTONE -- Romain Grosjean has hit out at "big inconsistencies" from the British Grand Prix stewards after Lewis Hamilton was allowed to keep pole position despite impeding his car in Q3.
Grosjean was livid with Hamilton after the Mercedes driver slowed his first flying lap when he arrived at the penultimate corner. Hamilton had been preparing for a flying lap of his own and revealed after Q3, where he took pole by 0.5s, that he had received no warning from Mercedes that Grosjean was approaching.
The incident came under investigation but the uncertainty over pole position lasted just 30 minutes, with the stewards quickly declaring that Grosjean had been "affected" but not impeded by Hamilton's car.
