Hamilton Blasts FIA in Furious Radio Message After D…read more.

In a dramatic turn of events, seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton lashed out at the FIA in a heated radio message following his disqualification from Sunday’s Grand Prix. The British driver, who had initially finished second, was stripped of his podium place due to a technical infringement related to his car’s underfloor plank wear.

The decision, announced hours after the checkered flag, sent shockwaves through the paddock. Hamilton, visibly frustrated, did not hold back during his post-race team radio. “This is ridiculous,” he said. “We give everything out there, and they take it away like this? The FIA needs to take a hard look at themselves.”

The FIA stated that the excessive wear on the car’s plank — a component designed to ensure compliance with ride height regulations — breached the technical rules, resulting in the disqualification. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff acknowledged the ruling but expressed disappointment: “We accept the FIA’s findings, but the punishment feels harsh considering the track conditions.”

Hamilton’s outburst reflects growing tensions between drivers and the sport’s governing body over recent rulings and inconsistent regulations. While some fans supported Hamilton’s comments, others criticized the tone of his remarks, arguing that rules must be enforced fairly for all competitors.

Despite the setback, Hamilton remained defiant, vowing to come back stronger in the next race. “They can take the result, but they can’t take the fight out of me,” he said in a later interview.

The incident adds another layer of drama to an already intense championship battle, as Hamilton continues to chase a record-breaking eighth world title. All eyes will now be on the FIA and how it responds to the backlash in the days ahead.
