Hamilton Slams F1 Stewards’ ‘Secrecy’ Over Mexico GP Penalty Amid Controversial Decisions

Lewis Hamilton Lashes Out at F1 Stewards: “Secrecy” Over Penalties Sparks Outrage!

In a dramatic turn of events following the Mexico City Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has unleashed his frustrations regarding the opaque decision-making of Formula 1 stewards. The seven-time world champion faces a 10-second time penalty for an incident where he allegedly “left the track and gained a lasting advantage.” This controversial call has ignited a firestorm, especially in light of rival Max Verstappen’s unpunished transgressions during the same race.

Hamilton’s ire is evident as he critiques the stewards’ lack of transparency, stating, “There isn’t any clarity. I think that’s probably a part of the big issue – transparency and accountability.” He continued, illuminating the profound impact these decisions can have on drivers’ careers and championship outcomes: “I don’t know if they’re aware of the weight that their decisions hold. They ultimately steer careers and can decide results of championships, as you’ve seen in the past.”

Adding fuel to the fire, fellow Mercedes driver George Russell echoed Hamilton’s sentiments, expressing bewilderment at the apparent leniency shown towards drivers who cut corners. He described the situation as a “get-out-of-jail-free card,” advocating for significant modifications to the controversial corners at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. “I was very, very surprised to see those drivers get away without penalty,” Russell remarked, suggesting that the only viable solution could involve transforming the entire corner layout to prevent such infractions.

As anticipation builds for the upcoming Sao Paulo Grand Prix, both Hamilton and Russell are calling for immediate action to rectify the inconsistencies in enforcement. Russell further criticized the current track design, emphasizing, “Turns Two and Three only have one single racing line, so you can’t battle into Turn One and continue the fight down to Turn Four.”

Meanwhile, Hamilton found himself drawn into a separate narrative involving former F1 driver Felipe Massa, who is currently embroiled in a £64 million legal battle claiming he was wronged in the 2008 championship race against Hamilton. When questioned about Massa’s case, Hamilton distanced himself from the controversy, stating, “I don’t have a view on it. I’m not in touch with it at all… Whatever reasons that Felipe has, I’m sure he’s got the conviction within him.”

As the F1 world gears up for an electrifying weekend in Brazil, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will the stewards address the mounting concerns over their decisions? Can the F1 community expect a shift towards greater transparency and fairness? One thing is clear: the drama is far from over, and all eyes will be on the Sao Paulo Grand Prix as these issues unfold.

Stay tuned for live updates and analysis, as the thrilling title race continues to captivate fans and challenge the status quo!
