Lewis Hamilton at risk of Singapore GP penalty for red flag infringement
Lewis Hamilton could potentially face a penalty at the Singapore Grand Prix due to an alleged red flag infringement during final practice.
The seven-time world champion is under investigation after being flagged for an apparent violation when Liam Lawson crashed his Racing Bulls, causing a red flag to be waved 15 minutes into the session.
Hamilton was observed slowing down for the red flags at the site of Lawson’s accident but then accelerated to return to the pits.
It is concerning for Hamilton as infringements involving flags in practice sessions often lead to grid penalties.
Earlier this year, Haas driver Oliver Bearman received grid penalties twice for red flag violations during practice sessions, once in Monaco for overtaking under a red flag and once at Silverstone for crashing in the pit lane during a red flag.
