Hamilton Cleared by Stewards Over Singapore Sprint Yellow-Flag Incident
FIA stewards took no further action against Lewis Hamilton after he was noted for a potential yellow-flag infringement during Saturday's rain-hit Singapore sprint.
Lewis Hamilton will face no sanction for a suspected yellow-flag infringement in Saturday's rain-delayed Singapore sprint. The FIA stewards reviewed the incident from the early stages of the Marina Bay sprint and confirmed no further action would be taken against the Ferrari driver, who finished second behind race winner Max Verstappen.
It was the second yellow-flag verdict of the weekend involving the pair: on Friday, Verstappen escaped punishment for overtaking Hamilton under yellow flags in sprint qualifying after the stewards studied telemetry and found Hamilton had slowed below 60 km/h and moved off the racing line, with Verstappen lifting off the throttle within about 40 metres of entering the sector.
Verstappen's weekend has otherwise been perfect — his first Singapore Grand Prix pole, a 1:31.373 that was also the 50th pole of his career, followed by the sprint victory in the rain.
