FIA Hands Lewis Hamilton Double Disqualification After T…read more
In a dramatic turn of events, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has been hit with a double disqualification by the FIA following the latest Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. The decision came after a thorough post-race inspection revealed a significant technical breach on Hamilton’s Ferrari, leading to immediate and severe consequences.
According to the official statement from the FIA, Hamilton’s car failed to meet the minimum technical requirements outlined in the sport’s regulations. While the FIA has not yet disclosed all the specific violations, sources suggest the issues may relate to underfloor wear and rear wing irregularities, both of which can offer a competitive advantage if not compliant.
As a result, Hamilton has been disqualified from both the qualifying session and the main race, nullifying his points and position from the weekend. The ruling not only affects his personal championship standings but also delivers a heavy blow to Ferrari in the constructors’ battle.
The team has expressed disappointment but vowed to fully cooperate with the FIA and launch an internal review to determine the cause of the irregularities. “We respect the FIA’s decision, although we are surprised by the outcome,” a Ferrari spokesperson stated. “We will analyze the data and ensure full transparency moving forward.”
Hamilton, who had originally crossed the line in a strong position, has yet to issue a formal response but was seen leaving the paddock shortly after the announcement.
The double disqualification throws the title race into new territory, with rivals now poised to capitalize on Hamilton’s misfortune. With the season entering its critical phase, every point matters—and this setback could prove pivotal.
More updates are expected as teams and analysts dissect the full impact of this unprecedented penalty.
