The FIA have announced the punishment verdict for Ferrari F1 star Lewis Hamilton after an investigation was launched at the Austrian Grand Prix.
F1 returned to the challenging Red Bull Ring for the 11th round of the 2025 campaign, with Friday’s practice sessions kicking off the on-track action ahead of Sunday’s main event in Spielberg.
Hamilton’s return to the track went from bad to worse on Friday, experiencing gearbox issues in FP1 and only managing to cross the line ninth-fastest, before he was then involved in an on-track incident with the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli in FP2.
The Italian youngster has succeeded Hamilton at Mercedes and has had a much better start to life at his new team than the 40-year-old has at Ferrari, with a near-miss at the Red Bull Ring just the latest in a list of low points for Hamilton this season.
The seven-time champion was swiftly summoned to the stewards following the session, alleged to have breached Article 37.5 of the FIA F1 sporting regulations.
