FIA Confirms Double Disqualification for Lewis Hamilton after I …read more.
In a dramatic turn of events, the FIA has officially confirmed a double disqualification for Lewis Hamilton following recent investigations into technical and sporting infringements. The announcement was made earlier today, sending shockwaves through the Formula 1 community and raising fresh questions about the integrity of Mercedes’ recent race strategies.
The disqualification stems from Hamilton’s performance in the latest Grand Prix weekend, where post-race inspections revealed that his car breached multiple regulations. According to the FIA, both a technical violation related to the car’s floor plank wear and a procedural breach during the qualifying session contributed to the penalty.
As a result, Hamilton has been stripped of his results from both the qualifying and the main race. This decision not only affects his championship standing but also significantly impacts Mercedes’ position in the constructors’ standings. The team has accepted the ruling, with Team Principal Toto Wolff stating, “While we’re disappointed, we respect the FIA’s decision and will review our internal procedures to ensure this does not happen again.”
This latest setback adds to what has been a challenging season for Hamilton, who joined Ferrari at the beginning of 2025 after over a decade with Mercedes. With mounting pressure and increasing competition, the double disqualification represents a critical moment in his campaign for an eighth world title.
Fans and analysts alike await further developments, as this decision could have long-term implications for the remainder of the season. The FIA has indicated that no appeal has been filed yet, but the window remains open.
