Lewis Hamilton was investigated for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in the sprint at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton avoided punishment from the FIA as no further action was taken for allegedly leaving the track and gaining an advantage during the dying stages of the sprint in Montreal. The Canadian Grand Prix ended abruptly for Hamilton as he slipped from fourth to sixth on the final lap. Despite being overtaken by Piastri and Leclerc, no penalty was given to Hamilton after an investigation by the stewards. The stewards concluded that Hamilton did not gain a lasting advantage as Piastri was not in an overtaking position on him. This decision was based on evidence including data, video, timing information, team radio, and in-car video footage. The official decision document referenced earlier penalties issued during the race to provide context for the ruling.
