FIA announce Lewis Hamilton inspection as samples taken at Singapore GP
The FIA have announced that Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari was inspected at the Singapore Grand Prix after samples were taken. Hamilton, showing confidence with Ferrari, set the fastest time in Q1 but started at sixth place on the grid. Fuel samples were taken from both Hamilton’s and George Russell’s cars for analysis. Gas chromatography was used to check the density of the fuel samples. Results showed the fuel met competition standards, with no density changes beyond permitted limits. Further samples, including engine oil, were also taken from Hamilton’s car and passed inspection tests. Despite retaining his P6 grid slot, Hamilton finished P8 after a post-race penalty at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Post-race incidents prompted F1 rule re-evaluation, overshadowing title celebrations and resulting in two disqualifications.
