Hamilton impeded Sargeant du꧃ring the second 60-minute practice session and thus was forced ๊to see the stewarrds

The stewards felt Mercedes were t𓃲o blame as they hadn't informed Hamilton of the fast-approaching Sargeant.

Thus, Mercedes have been fined ✅as a result €15,000.

The stewards noted: "We heard from the driver of Car 44 (Lewis Hamilton), the driver of Car 2 (Logan Sargeant), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, team radio and in-car video evidence and determine that Car 44 impeded Car 2 at Turn 11.🐻 As a result, Car 2 had to take evasive action by going off the track to avoid a collision. Had that not been done, there would have been a serious, high speed crash.

"Having listened to the team radio, it was clear to us that the team of Car 44 failed to warn t🎉heir driver of the fact that Car 2 was arriving on a fast lap. 

"That was a serious failure on the part of the team, particularly given the speeds on this circuit and the nature of turn 11, which is at the end of a series of high speed corners where driver visibility is impaired. We therefore issue a warnin🌠g to the driver and impose a fine of €15,000 to the team."

Before the stewards announced🅰 their verdict, former Aston Martin F1 st🌼rategist Bernie Collins felt Mercedes were to blame, not Hamilton.

“This is on th🍌e pit wall,” she said on Sky Sports. “Drivers cannot see far enough in their mirrors👍, at the speed that they’re going. We’ve heard complaints about how bad these cars are, from a visibility point of view.

“The pit wall needs to be on them, the distance to the car behind, how qu♌ickly they’re coming, whether they’re on a fast lap or not. The blame needs to be, in many cases, laid there. In qualifying, amazingly, it gets easier🦄 through the sessions. You get less cars on track, they’re on the same run programme.

“Whereas in FP2 you get some h🍌igh fuels, some low fuels. Some in and out laps. It gets easier in qualifying. But we can’t afford a shunt like that.”
