The seven-time world champion was seen walking across the track to return to the pit lane after his car was left stricken in the gravel following a first corner, opening lap crash with Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell. 

Hamilton received his first non-driving reprimand of th💦e season and was also fined €50,000, half of which is suspended for the rest of 2023 providing there is no repeat offence of a similar nature, for the incident. 

The stewards noted that♛ Hamilton was “very apologetic” and acknowledged his actꦯions were potentially dangerous.

“After crashing out of the race in Lap 1, the driver of Car 44 abandoned his car in the gravel and ran back to the pits. He thereby crossed the track that was live at this time and reached the inside edge of the track just seconds before Car 63 arrived at high speed after exiting the pits. He then continued to walk alongside the tra𓂃ck until finally exiting the track,” t🌃he stewards noted. 

“During the hearing the driver of Car 44 was very apologetic and realised that the situation could ha🐠ve been very dangerous for him as well as the drivers approaching.

“The Stewards reinforced t🌼he fact that crossing a live track can cause extremely dangerous situations and the drivers have to be very caไutious about it.

“In addition to imposing a significant fine (which is suspended in parts), the Stewards also reprimand the driver bearing in mind that receiving a certain number of reprimands during a season will draw a sign🌺ificant driving penalty in accordance with Artic๊le 18.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.”

The stewards decided to take no further🍬 action against Hamilt♔on for his collision with Russell, despite deeming that he was “predominantly at fault”. 

“Cars 44, 63 and 1 entered Turn 1 three-wide with Car 44 trying to make a move on Car 63 around the outside. When turning in, the rear-right wheel of Car 44 made contact with th🌞e front left edge of Car 63, causing Ca꧑r 44 to spin off track. Car 63 also spun but was able to continue the race after that,” they said. 

“Whilst the argument can be made that Car 44 was predominantly at fault, the Stewards, taking into account that the incident happened in Lap 1 and several cars were involved, determine that th꧑e incident is considered as a typical “Lap 1, Turn 1” incident and no driver is wholly at fault. Therefore no further action is ta🦹ken.”
