Ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, the FIA admitted to F1 teams that the controversial decision to not hand 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen a grid🐟 penalty for impeding in Singapore was a mistake.

Both Verstappen and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant were afforded leniency as🅰 they escaped picking up the usual three-place grid penalty after being investigated for impeding incidents during qualifying in Singapore. 

The stewards conceded in Japan that both Verstappen and Sargeant should have been punished with three-place grid drops but insisted the decisions will not be used as precedent when making calls in the future.&nbsꦺp;

When🦄 asked if he was pleased to have clarity on t☂he matter, Hamilton responded: “Not really.

"How many years have we…. ꩵThat rule has been the same for ages, you know? I think we need to start looking into AI for this sort of thing, so we get good decisions.”

The 🐼seven-time world champion added: “🧜I would like to see whether AI could do a better job or not.”

Mercedes teammate and GPDA director168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell admitted the decision to let Verstappen off was “d🔯efinitely a bit strange”. 

"It was definitely a bit strange toꦺ see even Max got away with those reprimands last week," Russell said. 

"We obviousl൩y always look for consistency. We appreciate it's not eas🏅y in the best of times, but last week was obviously a bit of a slam dunk. So it was strange why it didn't happen.”

Ahead of the weekend, and prior to the stewards’ admission, McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris called for harsher penalties for blocking incidents, adding 🐈that “no one s✨eems to care enough”.
