Esteban Gutierrez has said that Lewis Hamilton has not apologised for making an obscene gesture during last weekend's Hungarian GP.

Gutierrez was penalised for not obeying blue flags but was furious with Hamilton for sticking up his middle finger when the world champion passed the Mexican.

"I think the penalty came only because Lewis complained, which is a problem because what he did was disrespectful," Gutierrez was quoted by the Spanish sports newspaper Marca at Hockenheim. "It was unsportsmanlike and he should learn to respect his competitors and those, like me, who are doing their best and trying to let him pass in a safe place."


Asked if he had spoken to Hamilton about the incident, the former Sauber driver said: "I haven't talked to him."

"I know he's been looking for my number but I didn't get a call. We'll see over the weekend," he said. "Personally I have nothing against him, but I think whoever we are, we are all people who deserve the same level of respect."

    Dude, this is more than just about Gut wanting an apology. This man Ham is, for some unexplainable reason, an idol to many. So driving around waving hes fu.. finger whenever he wants sends out a wrong signal to thoose many. Besides F1 and middlefinger gestures do not go well together, if F1 wants to think of itself as the finest class in all of motorsport.. So Gut is right to want an apology.!
