Lewis Hamilton may face more FIA punishment for crossing a live track in Qatar.
The FIA will review Lewis Hamilton’s track-crossing incident at last weekend’s F1 Qatar Grand Prix after admitting their “concern”.
Hamilton was summoned to the stewards and hit with a €50,000 fine, of which half was suspended for the rest of 2023 pending he does not commit the same breach again.
But a week later the FIA are reinvestigating the incident to consider whether it was more serious than they initially realised.
"The FIA is revisiting the incident in which Lewis Hamilton crossed a live track during the Qatar Grand Prix,” a statement from the governing body read.
“The FIA notes that Lewis was apologetic during the subsequent stewards hearing in to the incident and acknowledged that the crossing was a serious safety breach.
“However, in view of his role model status, the FIA is concerned about the impression his actions may have created on younger drivers."
I wonder when the FIA are going to review Abu Dhabi 2021?
Remember this? nothing said?....
