Lewis Hamilton<\/a> is investigated by the stewards for leaving a track and gaining an advantage after the Sprint of the Canadian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The British driver finished sixth during the Sprint at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, after running much of the session in fourth place. During the final lap, he lost two positions to Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc. Now, he is also investigated by the stewards for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at Turn 13 but was not shown on TV. If Hamilton receives a five-second penalty, he would still finish P6, while a 10-second penalty would promote Max Verstappen to sixth place in Canada.<\/p>\n

Hamilton not penalizedAfter reviewing the incident, the stewards decided not to penalize<\/a> the Ferrari<\/a> driver. As a result, he will retain sixth place and also keep the three points he scored today.<\/p>\n

In their verdict, the stewards wrote: “Car 44 was in front of Car 81 on the approach to Turn 13 and left the track, drove through the chicane and rejoined, in front of Car 81. However this incident differs from the previous incident in this Session involving Cars 27 and 30 in that Car 81 was not in an overtaking position on Car 44. Accordingly Car 44 was not deemed by the Stewards to be \u201cdefending\u201d its position hence was not deemed to gain a lasting advantage, consistent with the Driving Standards Guidelines.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton is investigated by the stewards for leaving a track and gaining an advantage after the Sprint…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[214,17,17535,17532,22338,22336],"class_list":["post-57883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-breaking-news","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-f1-news","tag-ferrari","tag-lewis-hamilton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
