Hamilton refuses to join GPDA
Reluctance annoys stalwarts

Jul.21 (GMM) Some of Lewis Hamilton's more experienced on-track rivals are reportedly frustrated with the rookie championship leader.

According to the Spanish newspaper Diario As, the 22-year-old Briton has repeatedly refused to join the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA); the safety-oriented drivers' union.

GPDA stalwart David Coulthard last year admitted frustration with some of his fellow drivers who show reluctance to contribute to the sport beyond their team duties.

The Red Bull driver said the union "is the only route via which they can influence their sport and yet they don't seem to want to know."
