Lewis Hamilton believes the FIA must change after a series of controversial incidents in the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton has demanded changes to the FIA’s penalty processes following a series of controversial incidents in the Mexico City GP. In the race, both Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc gained positions by cutting across the grass at Turn 1, while Hamilton, who stayed on track, lost out. Verstappen escaped punishment despite another incident at Turn 2, where he should have returned the position to Leclerc. Hamilton received a 10-second penalty for a similar move at Turn 4, which affected his race outcome. Hamilton believes the FIA’s penalty decisions need more transparency and accountability to avoid impacting drivers’ careers and championship standings. He emphasizes the need for clarity and consistency in the process to prevent unfair outcomes and ensure a level playing field for all drivers.
