168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton escaped pun♛ishment from the FIA for an incident in the F1 Miami Grand Prix sp༒rint race.

Hamilton’s manoeuvre down the inside of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso on the first lap of the Miami sprint forced the Aston Martin driver into his teammate, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll.

Stroll then clattered 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris, forcing them both into early retirements. Alonso, with a puncture, drop🀅p🍒ed down the order.

But Hamilton was let ൲off after anꦕ FIA investigation.

Their reasoning explained: “The Stewards reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence and determined that Cars 14, 18, 44 and 4 [Alonso, Stroll, Hamilton and Norris, ed.] collided when they were navigat✃ing Turn 1 of Lap 1.

“The collision resulted in damage to Car 14, 18 [Alonso and Stroll] and caused Car 4 [Norris] to retꦕirꦇe.

“From the video evidence, it appeared that there were at least t💛hree collisions that occurred – the first between Cars 14 & 18 and then between Car 44 [Hamilton] and Car 14 and finally between Car 18 and Car 4.

“While it ♛appeared to us that the incidents began with Cars 14 & 18, the sudden and fast arrival of Car 44 contributed to the various collisions.

“However, we were not able to identify one or more drivers wholly or predominantl𒈔y to blame for t♊he various collisions or any one of them.

“Also keeping in mind that this was in Turn 1 of Lap 1 where greater latitude is given to driv☂ers for incidents, we took no further action.”

McLaren’s Norris blamed Hamilton, though.

“It’s obvious. Lewis dived up the inside and caused the incident,” Norris tol💯d F1TV.

“Nothing I could do about that.”

Alonso controversially com🌱plained that Hamilton was not penalised by the FIA because “he’s not Spanish”.

Alonso arrived in Miami with a gripe over FIA stewarding after he was given a🍸 10-second time penalty in the sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix.

He insisted that he did not try to overtake Esteban Ocon in Miami for fꦦear of being punished again by the ste🍎wards.

And Alonso ended his critici꧃sm by sarcastically labelling the sprint race🦹 “a free practice” session.

Hamilton finished the sprint race in P8 but dropped to P16 due t𒁃o a 20-second time penalty for speeding in the pitlane.
