Lewis Hamilton escapes penalty for FP2 incident with Alex Albon
Lewis 🍬Hamilton h🐬asn't been punished for his incident with Alex Albon in second practice

Lewis Hamilton hasn’t been penalised for impeding 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon during second practice for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Hamilton blocked Alb𝔍on, who was on a fast lap at the time, in the earlꦯy stages of FP2 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
The seven-time world champion was drivingꦓ slowly on the racing line on the appꦰroach to Turn 17.
Albon was forced to back off, ruining his lap ❀entirely.
The incident was quickly put under investiga𝓀tion by the stewa👍rds.
Unsurprisingly, Hamilton has avoided picking up a penalty due to the stewards taking a lenient approach when iꦑt comes to practice.
Had it been in qualifying, Hamilton wo⛦uld have likely rece🦹ived a grid penalty.
Explaining why Hamilton wasn’t𝓡 penalised, the stewards not🦂ed: “However, as agreed with the teams, unless the impeding during free practice was such that it could be regarded as dangerous, there will be no penalty for such impeding.
“During the hearing, the driver of Car 23 felt that he had the car under control at a𝄹ll times and while he was impeded, he did not consider the situation to be dangerous. He had seen Car 44 in front of him during the corner before.
“However, he did not expect Car 44 to be in the position on track that he was in and that shocked the driv𓆉er of Car 23 as he approached Tu🌄rn 17 and had to take evasive action.
“While his immediate reaction when the incident occurred was to say that it was dangerous, having looked at it subsequently, he agreed🦋 that it was not. We accordingly took no further action.”
It was a tough second practice ꧅session for Hamilton, who ended up 13th in the final order.
He was over six-tenths slower than Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, who was fourth fastest.
