The FIA is reviewing the penalty given to Lewis Hamilton for crossing the live track after his accident at the F1 GP in Qatar.
In a surprising move, the FIA has warned that it will re-investigate and review the penalty imposed on Mercedes for the race against Hamilton after the F1 Qatar Grand Prix. The Englishman was acquitted of the collision with teammate George Russell, but was disciplined in a separate investigation.
He was coming out of the gravel trap in Turn 1 and was about to enter the pit lane on the live track. World TV captured him on pit road at the moment Russell passed him, which was potentially dangerous. The FIA was satisfied with the apology but still reprimanded him.
Hamilton was also handed a hefty fine of 50,000 euros, of which 25,000 euros was suspended to prevent a recurrence. Just a week after the incident and subsequent penalty, he noted that the FIA should reconsider the above decision.
They feel that Hamilton seems to have gotten away with it lightly, considering he is a role model and whether an incident like this deserves serious sanctions. “The FIA is reviewing the incident in which Lewis Hamilton crossed the live track during the Qatar Grand Prix,” the governing body said in a brief statement about the incident.
“The FIA notes that Lewis apologized at a subsequent stewards hearing into the incident and acknowledged that the crossing was a serious safety breach.” However, given his exemplary position And the FIA is concerned about the impression his actions may have on young drivers. ”
After the Qatar Grand Prix, the governing body was busy investigating Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll’s actions and ejecting him with a warning. They are already analyzing what they can do for hot races that would be difficult for drivers to complete.
