Aug.4 (GMM) Stewards at the Hungarian grand prix on Saturday afternoon were investigating why Lewis Hamilton ran out of time to defend his provisional pole position.
Anticipating the development, it is understood that McLaren boss Ron Dennis personally escorted Fernando Alonso's physiotherapist Fabrizio Borra to FIA officials here in Budapest.
It is believed that Borra, despite the fact that the lollipop was raised and mechanics were ushering the Spaniard's car out of the pit box, gave Alonso a signal when enough time had elapsed so as to cause teammate Hamilton to run out of time to complete his out lap in the dying minutes of qualifying.
Despite the McLaren one-two on Saturday, Dennis and Hamilton's father Anthony were a picture of fury after the incident, while championship leader Hamilton said: "It definitely needs a good explanation.
"I will definitely ask the team when I go back and have the debrief.
"Your guess is as good as mine," the Briton told reporters. "I'm not angry, I'm curious as to what's gone on."
