FIA Reveals Decision on Lewis Hamilton’s Penalty F…read more.
The FIA has officially announced its decision regarding Lewis Hamilton’s penalty after his involvement in an incident during the Australian Grand Prix. The ruling comes after a thorough investigation by race stewards, who reviewed race footage, telemetry data, and team communications before reaching a verdict.
During the Grand Prix, Hamilton was involved in a controversial incident that raised questions about his on-track conduct. The race stewards determined that the seven-time world champion was at fault and have issued a penalty, which could impact his championship standings.
The specifics of the penalty include a time addition to his race result, a grid penalty for the next Grand Prix, or potentially penalty points on his super license. Mercedes, Hamilton’s team, now faces a decision on whether to accept the ruling or challenge it through an appeal.
Following the FIA’s announcement, Hamilton responded by expressing disappointment but respecting the decision. “It was a tough race, and I didn’t feel I did anything wrong, but I respect the stewards’ judgment,” he said in a post-race interview.
The decision has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some supporting the FIA’s ruling while others believe the penalty was too harsh. With the Formula 1 season still in its early stages, this setback could influence Hamilton’s title fight as he looks to bounce back in the upcoming races.
The next Grand Prix will be crucial for Hamilton and Mercedes as they attempt to recover from this latest challenge in their 2024 campaign.
