BREAKING: FIA Issues Double Disqualification to Lewis Hamilton After T…read more
In a shocking development, Lewis Hamilton has been handed a double disqualification by the FIA following the latest Formula 1 Grand Prix, sending shockwaves through the paddock and reshaping the title race.
The FIA’s decision came after a post-race inspection revealed Hamilton’s Ferrari had breached key technical regulations. While the full list of violations has yet to be officially released, insiders suggest the disqualifications stem from underfloor plank wear and possible rear wing non-compliance—both areas that can yield aerodynamic advantages when pushed beyond the legal limit.
As a consequence, Hamilton has been stripped of his qualifying and race results, erasing all points from the weekend. This delivers a serious blow not only to his drivers’ championship campaign but also to Ferrari’s standing in the constructors’ championship.
In a brief statement, Ferrari expressed disappointment with the outcome while committing to a full internal review:
“We respect the FIA’s decision, although we are surprised by the outcome. Our focus now is to investigate the cause thoroughly and ensure complete transparency,” said a team spokesperson.
Hamilton, who had finished in a competitive position before the ruling, has not yet issued a public response. He was seen exiting the paddock shortly after the FIA’s announcement, avoiding media engagement.
The ruling comes at a crucial stage of the season, where the fight for the championship is intensifying. With Hamilton losing vital points, title rivals now have a significant opportunity to gain ground.
As the sport braces for the fallout, further analysis and official updates are expected in the coming days. The incident marks one of the most high-profile penalties in recent F1 memory and could have lasting implications on both the championship narrative and regulatory scrutiny across the grid.
