Check out the full reason behind Lewis Hamilton’s major penalty from the Dutch Grand Prix.
The FIA has detailed its rationale for imposing a five-place grid penalty on Lewis Hamilton for the Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton came under scrutiny for a yellow flag violation and subsequently crashed during the Dutch GP at Zandvoort. Due to safety concerns at the banked final corner, drivers were instructed to adhere to double waved yellow flags during recon laps. Despite signs indicating a need to slow down significantly, Hamilton’s speed reduction was deemed insufficient by stewards. While leniency was shown by reducing the penalty to five places, Hamilton was still issued two penalty points. The decision marked his second penalty point within a year, underscoring the importance of adhering to safety protocols.
