It's at this point that you can walk down either the sinister or the dexter road .
They told him to exit the pits and immediately pull over .
A Hamilton fan sees that as a free stop for Max , courtesy of AT .
Couple that with the fact there would be not have been an open pit lane for that free stop , had the car stopped before the exit , and you've got the makings of a scandal .
The team's explanation certainly makes sense , with only the exit of the pit area in question because of the radio call .
I guess you can call it collusion if you're Lewis , or you can call it good fortune , or wise choice for if you're young George .
