The FIA will review Lewis Hamilton’s track-crossing incident at last weekend’s F1 Qatar Grand Prix after admitting their “concern”.
Lewis Hamilton received a €50,000 fine for crossing a live track during the Qatar Grand Prix after his race ended on the first lap due to contact with his teammate. The FIA initially accepted his apology and acknowledged the seriousness of the safety breach during the stewards’ hearing. However, the FIA is now reinvestigating the incident to determine if it was more severe than initially realized, expressing concern about the impression Hamilton’s actions may have on younger drivers. Next weekend, Hamilton will be called to discuss the incident with the FIA in Austin, and the FIA is careful not to single him out but is worried about the potential precedent set. The stewards emphasized the danger of crossing a live track and issued both a significant fine and a reprimand to Hamilton, considering the potential driving penalty under Article 18.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
