Hamilton `ranted and raved` at McLaren
Lewis Hamilton reportedly ranted and raved over the McLaren team radio after being told to hold station behind team-mate Fernando Alonso during Sunday's Monaco GP and only agreed to slow down after the personal intervention of Ron Dennis.
The admission of the McLaren team principal that he had asked his drivers to 'cool it' has prompted the FIA to launch an investigation into their victory for a "possible breach of the International Sporting Code."
According to The Daily Mail, Hamilton 'vented his frustration' at being denied the opportunity to push for victory 'by ranting at his race engineer Phil Prew.'
'Dennis was forced to step in over the in-car radio and speak to his protege directly,' the newspaper claims. 'It was only then that rookie Hamilton, who made his views clear with several high-speed laps, finally relented and abided by his boss's demand that he should settle for second place.'
"Lewis was very angry. He turned the air blue when he was told to take it easy," a 'paddock insider' claimed.

And thanks to the order by Dennis, he had to give in. If i was in his shoes, i would feel the same frustration...
Everybody wants to win.
Barrichello felt the same way when he had to yield to Michael.
Hamilton felt so confident before the race.
Not nervous and the car is good, he said.
He's a racer just like Senna.
I think Senna would never yield to anyone if it comes to racing.
Seems to me, Hamilton was 'robbed'.
