The FIA announced the F1 stewards’ decision after Lewis Hamilton was investigated at the Canadian Grand Prix
The FIA have announced the findings of their investigation involving Lewis Hamilton’s actions during the Canadian Grand Prix sprint race.
Hamilton was under scrutiny for potentially gaining an advantage by leaving the track at the final chicane in a battle with Oscar Piastri.
Despite cutting across the chicane, Hamilton eventually lost his position to Piastri and then to Charles Leclerc in the race.
The stewards ultimately decided not to penalize Hamilton, as he was not actively defending his position against Piastri.
This ruling spared Hamilton from slipping to seventh place and a potential penalty that could have benefitted Max Verstappen.
Drivers have the option to appeal such decisions, as outlined in the FIA Sporting Code and Judicial Rules.
The investigation highlighted the importance of adhering to driving standards to avoid penalization.
