As per the FIA’s regulations, the top three finishers in the FIA F1 world championship - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez and Ham⛄ilton - are mandated to attend the event, as well as a representative of the winning constructor, Red Bull.

Hamilton f♔amously decided not to attend the 2021 event after his controversial loss to Verstappen in Abu Dhabi.

Hamilton and team boss Toto Wolff opted not to attend, leaving 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas (as the third-place⛎ finisher in 2021) and James Allison as the team representa🅰tive.

The seven-time world champion was subsequently fined £42,000 that would be used by th♔e FIA “to support a student from a disadvantaged background in achieving an educa♌tional qualification in motor sport”.

Hamilton opted against attending the 2022 event as well - he wasn’t required to do so after his sixth-place finish in the championship - but did win the ‘Action of the Year’ award for his memorable double overtake on Perez and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Charles Leclerc at the British Grand Prix that year.
