Former Formula One driver Robert Doornbos has said he agrees with Lewis Hamilton over the yellow flag controversy of the Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying.
Many have called Hamilton's contention with Nico Rosberg's pole position lap mind games as the two go head-to-head for the drivers' championship.
But former Red Bull and Minardi driver Doornbos believes that Rosberg "should never have started from pole position".
"Nico lifted and said it was 20kph slower but he can say what he wants, it was still a dangerous situation," the Dutchman told the Ziggo Sport Totaal broadcaster.
"Waved double yellows mean you should be able to stop, not improve your lap and certainly not set the fastest lap of the whole weekend," Doornbos insisted.
"So I totally agree with Lewis Hamilton that it gives the categories below F1 totally the wrong message."
Doornbos went on to describe the race as "boring" apart from the battle between Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen.
Verstappen was met with some criticism after the battle for his defensive driving style but Doornbos thinks that his young compatriot raced "hard but fair".
