Sure, but that still doesn't explain why he's attacked so much for 'not crediting Hamilton' while all he did was fairly answer a question.
Because the syncophantic journo was teeing up an opportunity for him to give LH major praise given the state of the car and JB's failure to make Q3 (this is good for their ratings, by the way.. they are learning from ITV) ... and Whitmarsh (who is a very media savvy guy) deliberately passed up the opportunity and instead chose to be somewhat critical of LH.
... intelligent people can see what is going on.
Plus, we can also put this episode in the context of OTT praise for JB over the past few races despite JB finishing behind LH.
I have not been complaining in this thread about this... I expect no more from Whitmarsh, he has a lot invested in JB's success... but today was just too blatant.
