Lewis Hamilton received a five-second time penalty during the Qatar Grand Prix for jumping the start of the race.

Unfortunately, his fortunes took a turn for the worse at the beginning of the grand prix when he jumped the start. Despite a slight movement in his grid box, Hamilton came to a stop as the lights went out, resulting in a loss of momentum and positions. The stewards decided to penalize him with a five-second time penalty for the infraction. Additionally, the race saw a significant incident involving Esteban Ocon and Franco Colapinto, with the F1 field temporarily reduced to 18 cars.
