A prime example would be his outrageous "move" on Button at the Canadian GP when Button wouldn't be intimidated by him. Hamilton's answer was to just drive into him, which put Hamilton out. I cannot remember if Button was able to continue. Another case of McLaren's drivers attacking their own teammate.

In fairness, i would say your memories must be softening up the more extreme Senna and Schumi incidents. 
Compared to them, Hammy is a saint no?
