Lewis Hamilton has avoided punishment for a “marginally higher” pit entry speed under the red flag in final practice at Formula 1’s Singapore Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton was investigated for slightly exceeding the pit entry speed limit under the red flag during final practice at the Singapore Grand Prix, but ultimately escaped punishment. The incident was triggered by Liam Lawson’s crash which prompted the red flag. Despite appearing to approach the pitlane aggressively as instructed by his race engineer, Hamilton was found to have maintained a safe and legal speed. While his speed was marginally higher than other drivers, he stayed above the required minimum time under red flag conditions. This ruling spared Hamilton from grid drops, unlike some of his fellow 2025 F1 drivers who received penalties for similar infractions during practice sessions.
