Lewis Hamilton was greeted with 'boos' when he stepped onto the podium after controversially winning the Canadian Grand Prix. Hamilton, usually a favourite with fans around the world, admits it felt odd, but it's not something he's new too.
Having won seven races in Montreal, Hamilton describes the track as a "great hunting ground for me".
“It’s been a place that I really have loved, and have always felt like I’ve been really accepted and supported here. I felt a little bit odd, being booed but it’s not like the first time I’ve been booed," Hamilton told the Independent.
“I’m used to it and I forgive.”
The 'boos' were likely to be a reaction to the penalty Sebastian Vettel picked up during the race. Many people feel it wasn't a penalty and Hamilton wants the fans to understand it wasn't him who made the choice.
“All I can say is I didn’t make the decision, firstly, so I don’t know what they’re booing at,” Hamilton added.
