Formula 1 record world champion Lewis Hamilton may have to face consequences for walking across the track after his retirement from the Qatar Grand Prix.
Formula 1 record world champion Lewis Hamilton has to go to court because of his walk on the track after his retirement from the Grand Prix Qatar may face consequences.
The International Automobile Federation confirmed that it would take another look at the incident. After the early retirement due to a collision with his Mercedes team-mate George Russell, Hamilton crossed the track on foot, which is forbidden.
The 38-year-old Brit then apologized to the race stewards and admitted a serious breach of safety rules, the statement continued. In his role as a role model, the FIA is concerned about the impression Hamilton’s actions could have on younger drivers.
The association recently issued a written warning to the Canadian Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll because of his outburst of anger in Qatar. The Canadian lost his temper during qualifying, threw his steering wheel out of the car and shortly afterwards pushed his physiotherapist in front of the camera. During the TV interview, which is mandatory for all drivers, he appeared to be in a bad mood.
