The sigh𒈔t of the seven-time world champion left alone in such obvious distress was jarring but t⛎here is a reason why nobody helped him.

F1 regulations stipulate that a driver must not be touched in parc ferme by꧅ anybod🌱y, until he has been weighed.

This is to ensure there is no tampering🐠 with his eventual weight on the scale𒅌s.

F1 cars must be a minimum weight of 798kg without fuel. That includes 😼the driver’s minimum weight.

If the driver’s weight dips the overall weight of driver plus car beneath 798kg, ballasts must be added to the cockpit to ensure it 💙hits the limit.

That is the reason Hamilton wꦉas not touched after the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - despite his obvious discomfort.
