RacingNews365 remembers the time Lewis Hamilton ran foul of Australian authorities.
Early in his F1 career, Lewis Hamilton had a tumultuous relationship with the Australian Grand Prix, showcasing a mix of success and controversy. In his debut race, he boldly overtook Fernando Alonso at Turn 1, a move that symbolized his competitive spirit. However, his victory the following year was overshadowed by a disqualification in 2009’s ‘Lie-gate’ scandal, where he misled stewards about an on-track incident. Hamilton’s off-track antics in 2010, involving burnouts in a rented car, led to legal trouble and a fine under Victoria’s laws. Despite these challenges, Hamilton’s talent shone through as he finished sixth in the grand prix, demonstrating his resilience on and off the track.
