H🍷amilton’s race ended on the first lap in Losail after contact with Mercedes teammate George Russell, but he breached regulations by jumping out of his car and walking back to the pits by crossing the circuit.

Hamilton was summoned to the stewards and hit with a €50,000 fine, of which half was suspended for the rest of 2023 pendinওg he does not commit the same breach again.

But a week later the FIA are reinvestigating the incident to consider whether it was more serious tཧhan they initia🍌lly realised.

"The 🧸FIA is revisiting the incident in which Lewis Hamilton crossed a live track during the Qatar Grand Prix,” a ꦚstatement from the governing body read.

“The FIA notes that Lewis was ap𝕴ologetic during the subsequent stewards hearing in to the incident and acknowledged that the crossing was a serious safety breach.

“However, in view of🦄 his role model status, the FIA is concerned about the impression his actions may have created on younger drivers."

The TV broadcaster also reports that "the FIA ౠdo not want to single out Hamilton, but are concerned at the precedent potentially set".

The initial statement in the aftermath of the Qatar Grand Prix read: "After crashing out of the race in Lap 1, the driver of Car 44 abandoned his car in the grave💫l and ran back to the pits.

"He thereby crossed the track that was live at this time and reached the inside edge of the track just seconds before🙈 Car 63 [Russell] arrived𝓀 at high speed after exiting the pits.

"He then contཧinued to walk alongside the track until 🧔finally exiting the track.

"During the hearing the driver of Car 44 was very apologetic and realised that the situation could have been very👍 dangerous for him as well as the drivers 🌳approaching.

"The Stewards reinforced the fact that cross♓ing a live track can cause extremely dangerous situations and the drivers have to be vღery cautious about it.

"In addition to imposing a significant fine (which is suspended in parts), the Stewards also reprimand the driver bearing in mind that rec🅰eiving a certain number of reprimands during a season♐ will draw a significant driving penalty in accordance with Article 18.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations."
