FIA Confirms Lewis Hamilton’s Disqualification from Spanish Grand Prix
In a dramatic turn of events at the Spanish Grand Prix, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has officially confirmed the disqualification of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. The announcement came following a detailed post-race investigation that revealed technical infringements on Hamilton’s Mercedes car.
According to the FIA’s report, the issue stemmed from a breach of technical regulations related to the car’s floor plank wear. The plank, which is designed to limit the car’s ride height and ensure fair competition, was found to be excessively worn. This led stewards to conclude that the car failed to meet the minimum technical requirements, warranting disqualification.
Hamilton, who had initially finished in a strong points-paying position, was visibly frustrated but respectful of the decision. “It’s obviously disappointing, especially after such a tough race,” Hamilton said. “But rules are rules, and we accept the FIA’s findings.”
Mercedes also issued a statement, acknowledging the disqualification and promising a thorough internal review to prevent such occurrences in the future. Team Principal Toto Wolff stated, “We respect the FIA’s process. We’ll investigate what went wrong on our end and work to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”
The disqualification has significant implications for the championship standings, as Hamilton loses valuable points in a tightly contested season. His removal from the final race results has also reshuffled the finishing order, benefiting several midfield teams.
Fans and analysts alike have reacted strongly to the news, with social media buzzing over the rare but impactful decision. While disqualifications in Formula 1 are not unheard of, they are typically reserved for serious breaches, making this a notable moment in the 2025 season.
As the championship battle intensifies, all eyes now turn to the next race, where Hamilton and Mercedes will aim to bounce back from this unexpected setback.
