It is the second time the incident has come under scrutiny, with the British driver having already been investigated and fined by the stewards at the race. However, on Sunday the FIA announced they were to revisit the case. But the statement from the FIA noted that Hamilton’s status was a contributory factor. “The FIA is revisiting the incident in which Lewis Hamilton crossed a live track during the Qatar Grand Prix,” it read. “The FIA notes that Lewis was apologetic during the subsequent stewards’ hearing into the incident and acknowledged that the crossing was a serious safety breach. In 2022 Hamilton was involved in a lengthy standoff with the FIA as the governing body insisted drivers adhere strictly to the ban on wearing jewellery in the car.
