Sky Sports F1 pundit wants change after ‘harsh’ Lewis Hamilton penalty
A Sky Sports commentator has called for F1 regulations to be changed following a penalty on Lewis Hamilton at the Mexican Grand Prix. The seven-time champion was penalized for leaving the track and gaining an advantage by rejoining ahead of Max Verstappen. The penalty was not for failing to use the escape road as instructed, but for not giving the place back to Verstappen. Hamilton protested the penalty, with Karun Chandhok from Sky Sports supporting him and suggesting tweaks to the Driving Standard Guidelines. Ultimately, the penalty affected Hamilton’s race outcome significantly, as he dropped down the field and missed out on a podium finish. The incident reignited discussions on driving standards and race penalties in Formula 1.
