Team McLaren-Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton exposed himself to a greater risk of getting a puncture by flat-spotting his tyre during the Hungarian grand prix.
"A flat spot makes you more vulnerable to a puncture," the Japanese told the Telegraph, "because it makes the tyre thinner in that area and therefore you have less protection against debris damage." Hamilton had three tyre problems in his rookie title challenge last year, leading some to suggest his notably aggressive driving style may be contributing to the problem. He told reporters in Budapest: "I was the one to get a puncture and it was a case of 'Oh no, not again'. "I had it three times last year and that's what really lost me the championship," Hamilton added.
