FIA to review Hamilton F1 Qatar GP track crossing incident

Lewis Hamilton was involved in a collision with his teammate George Russell during the race at the Losail circuit, resulting in Hamilton’s car being damaged and him ending up in the gravel trap. Hamilton illegally crossed the circuit to make his way back to the pits, which led to a reprimand and a 50,000 Euro fine, with 25,000 Euros suspended. The FIA now wants to revisit the incident, not to punish Hamilton further, but to establish greater penalties for crossing a live race track. The FIA is concerned about the impression Hamilton’s actions may have on younger drivers due to his role model status. The review is also prompted by a recent karting incident in Italy where a competitor sustained injuries after being struck on track. The outcome of the review will likely result in clearer penalty directives for similar incidents in the future.
