Ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, the FIA admitted to F1 teams that the controversial decision to not hand 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen a grid penalty for impe🌜ding in Singapore was a mistake.

Both Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant were afforded leniency as they escaped picking up the usual three-place grid penalty after being investigated for imped꧟ing incidents during qualifying in Si💃ngapore. 

The stewards conceded in Japan that both Verstappen and Sargeant should have been punished with three-pla꧟ce grid drops but insisted the decisions will not be used as precedentꦦ when making calls in the future. 

When asked if he was pleased to have clarity on the ma🍎tter,꧃ Hamilton responded: “Not really.

"How many years have we…. That rule has been the same for ages, you know? I think we need to start looking into AI for🐲 this sort of thing, so we get good decisions.”

The seven-time world ch🉐ampion added: “I would like to see whether AI could do a🌃 better job or not.”

Mercedes teammate and GPDA director168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell admitted the decision to le꧑t Verstappen 𒆙off was “definitely a bit strange”. 

"It was definitely a bit strange to see even Max got a♑way with those reprimands last week," Russell said. 

"We obviously always look for consistency. We appreciate it's not easy in the best of times, but last week was obviously a bit of a slam dun🎀k. So it was strange why it didn't happen.”

Ahead of the weekend, and prior to the stewards’ admission, McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris called for harsher pe♍nalties for blocking incidents, adding that “no one seems to care enough”.&nꦅbsp;
