Jenson Button unhappy with Lewis Hamilton telemetry tweet
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1

McLaren's Jenson Button said he was "disappointed" by team-mate Lewis Hamilton revealing confidential information about telemetry on Twitter.
Hamilton posted a picture of data from his and race winner Button's qualifying laps before the Belgian Grand Prix.
McLaren said it had not done "much damage" but, when asked how he felt about the incident, Button said: "I'll say disappointed.
"We work so hard to improve the car and to keep things like that private."
Hamilton was asked to take down the tweet by his team, which he did, but the information revealed ride heights as well as braking and acceleration rates.
McLaren will not be taking any disciplinary action against Hamilton, who was attempting to show the difference between a rear wing being used by Button against the one he had chosen for qualifying.
"I think it's done now," said Button, who qualified in pole position compared to Hamilton's seventh spot. "I don't think it's for me to be angry with Lewis because it's not a personal thing.
"The bit about him losing 0.6 secs on the straights isn't the bit that's important to me because he should be gaining it back in the corners he's got more downforce on. And I was 0.8 secs quicker in qualifying anyway.
"It's more the information that we work so hard to keep secret and private, that was the thing I didn't want to see on Twitter."

Tell you what Lewis, you come and work in my low paid office job for a few weeks, and I will have your millionaire race driver lifestyle for a few weeks? Yeah?
Grow up man!
Will he go down in history as one of F1's biggest let down potentials?
PS He won the 08 DWC by one point......?
Just as well he hasn't moved to Red Bull, Horner would've shown him the door on monday morning.
Jenson has full right to be far more than disappointed! Lewis is basically moaning cause he's been beaten and he can't take it....
In the 2 1/2 seasons Jenson and Lewis have raced together Jenson has out scored Lewis 585 - 584 (Lewis has 8 wins to Jensons 7). I'm not sure that Mclaren would see the as a meagre contribution would you?
Lewis needs to grow up.
Lewis needs to be careful,there are plenty of drivers that could run at the front in that McLaren,for a lot less money too.He could easily drop into the next tier of cars down the way the driver market is poised for next season
So he made a bad choice on set-up, he didn't need to whinge about it in public. Jensen is an utmost professional, and a class act to boot.
Lewis can't be considered best driver 2012/13 have you seen what Alonso's done with the Ferrari
