The FIA has announced it is “revisiting the incident in which Lewis Hamilton crossed a live track during the Qatar Grand Prix” following his first-lap clash with Mercedes Formula 1 team-mate George Russell
The FIA is reviewing the incident in which Lewis Hamilton crossed a live track during the Qatar Grand Prix, considering possible future penalties rather than increasing Hamilton’s punishment. Hamilton received a reprimand and a €50,000 fine, half of which was suspended, for crossing the track after leaving his damaged car. The FIA expressed concern about the impression Hamilton’s actions may have had on younger drivers due to his role model status. The initial stewards’ verdict acknowledged Hamilton’s contrition and the danger of crossing a live track. Hamilton was also investigated for his collision with George Russell but no further action was taken, considering it a typical first-lap incident with multiple drivers involved.
