Martin Brundle has his say on Lewis Hamilton’s grid penalty for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix
F1 commentator Martin Brundle supports the stewards’ decision to penalize Lewis Hamilton for the Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton received a five-place grid penalty for Monza following a yellow flag infringement at Zandvoort. Despite lifting, Hamilton did not comply adequately with flashing yellow flags en route to the grid at the Dutch Grand Prix. The stewards’ ruling, although delayed, capped Hamilton’s starting position for his debut Italian GP as a Ferrari driver at sixth place. Brundle considers the penalty a clear-cut case, suggesting that Hamilton’s team should share responsibility for the oversight. In addressing the penalty, Hamilton expressed surprise at the severity of the punishment, acknowledging the added challenge it poses for him at Monza.
