FIA announce late Lewis Hamilton promotion at Las Vegas Grand Prix
Ferrari F1 driver Lewis Hamilton faced disappointment in Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying due to a drying track, leaving him last on the grid for the race.
Fortunately, a late FIA announcement revealed that his Red Bull rival Yuki Tsunoda must start from the pit-lane, giving Hamilton a slight advantage.
Red Bull decided to change Tsunoda’s power unit and rear wing assembly illegally during parc ferme, leading to the penalty.
Hamilton’s slight grid position improvement could make a difference in a street circuit race, where every place counts.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for a Saturday due to factors like broadcasting opportunities and avoiding conflicting with other major sporting events.
The unexpected developments create anticipation and potential for exciting race scenarios.
