Breaking: FIA Issues Verdict on Lewis Hamilton’s Penalty Following Mia…Read more

The FIA has officially announced its verdict regarding Lewis Hamilton following an incident during the Miami Grand Prix weekend, putting an end to widespread speculation over a potential penalty.

The seven-time world champion was under investigation after a controversial moment involving track limits and alleged impeding during qualifying. Many fans and pundits had questioned whether Hamilton would face a grid drop or time penalty, as tensions mounted in the Mercedes garage and across the F1 community.

However, in a statement released by the FIA, it was confirmed that Hamilton will not receive any further penalty. According to the stewards, while Hamilton’s actions were “borderline,” they did not meet the threshold for significant punishment under current regulations. Instead, he has been issued a formal warning.

“The driver of Car 44 was found to have slowed on the racing line, but there was no clear evidence of deliberate blocking,” the FIA report stated. “A warning has been deemed sufficient in this case.”

Hamilton responded to the verdict with a brief comment: “I respect the decision. It was a tight situation, but I was doing my best out there. We move on.”

The decision has sparked mixed reactions. Some fans believe Hamilton was treated fairly, while others argue that a lesser-known driver might have been penalized more harshly. Either way, the verdict means Hamilton’s result from Miami stands, and his title hopes remain intact.

This ruling also comes at a critical time, with Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 looming and tensions at Mercedes growing. All eyes will now turn to the next race weekend, where Hamilton will look to bounce back and chase his long-awaited victory.

For now, the FIA’s decision brings some clarity—but not without controversy.
