Hamilton Under FIA Investigation Over Red-Flag Conduct in Singapore Practice

A stewards' decision before qualifying could change his starting position.

Overview

  • Liam Lawson crashed at Turn 7 in final practice at Marina Bay, prompting an immediate red flag.
  • Onboard footage showed Lewis Hamilton slowing past Lawson’s stranded car, accelerating afterward, then reducing speed again later in the lap.
  • Race control confirmed the matter is under formal review, with Hamilton summoned to see the stewards after the session.
  • Any sanction for a red-flag breach could include a reprimand or a grid penalty, depending on the evidence assessed.
  • Hamilton had already abandoned his lap and did not overtake any cars once the session was neutralised.
