Lewis Hamilton in shock over late FIA penalty at Italian GP
Lewis Hamilton expressed his immediate shock upon learning about his five-place grid drop for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix due to a failure to slow sufficiently under double yellow flags at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Although initially facing a ten-place penalty, it was reduced to five as acknowledgment for Hamilton’s slight deceleration under the flags.
Hamilton was surprised to discover the penalty only after returning home post-race, as the stewards delayed their investigation until after the event.
Despite the penalty and accruing penalty points, Hamilton remains focused on learning from the experience and moving forward positively.
He acknowledges the challenge presented by the penalty for the Monza GP with Ferrari but is determined and motivated to make up those positions in the upcoming race weekend.
