The FIA has issued a formal punishment following an incident involving Lewis Hamilton during the Japanese Grand Prix weekend. The seven-time world champion was found to have breached track regulations during a controversial moment in one of the practice sessions. While the nature of the violation has not been officially confirmed, reports suggest Hamilton may have impeded another driver or exceeded track limits under yellow flag conditions. The penalty, which includes a reprimand and a possible grid drop depending on final steward decisions, has sparked discussions among fans and analysts.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen is also under investigation for a separate incident during the same race weekend. The Red Bull driver allegedly failed to slow down adequately during a red flag period in qualifying. If found guilty, Verstappen could face a grid penalty or fine. The FIA has not yet confirmed the outcome of their review, but the Dutchman was seen in the stewards’ office shortly after qualifying.
These back-to-back investigations have added another layer of drama to an already intense 2025 Formula 1 season. With championship standings tightening and rivalries heating up, both incidents could have significant implications for the title fight.
F1 fans now await further updates from the FIA as both Hamilton and Verstappen remain central figures in the championship race. The Japanese Grand Prix continues to deliver both on and off-track drama as the season progresses.
