Johnny Herbert feels Lewis Hamilton should have known better to not commit a potentially serious safety rule breach.
Johnny Herbert, a three-time F1 race winner, believes that Lewis Hamilton, despite being a role model, should have known better than to cross the track unsafely during the Qatar Grand Prix. The FIA initially reprimanded Hamilton and fined him $50,000 for crossing the track after his crash with George Russell. However, concerns were raised about the safety breach and its potential impact on younger drivers, prompting the FIA to reconsider the sanctions. Herbert, who was once a steward himself, believes that Hamilton should have shown better judgment and that more leniency should be given to drivers in order to allow them to sort positions on track rather than relying on steward decisions. He acknowledges that even the best drivers make mistakes and thinks that the sport should allow drivers to race without so many interfering rules.
