Podium Lewis Hamilton Terancam Lagi di GP Inggris

TO NEWS OVERVIEW

Lewis Hamilton faces the threat of losing his British Grand Prix podium after being placed under another post-race stewards' investigation at Silverstone.

Hamilton finished third behind Charles Leclerc and George Russell, but his position is not fully secure as the stewards will investigate an alleged yellow flag infringement following the late crash involving Max Verstappen.

Verstappen's incident triggered a safety car in the closing laps, with the race ultimately finishing under neutralisation. Leclerc was classified as the winner, Russell took second place, and Hamilton completed the podium in third.

However, a potential time penalty could significantly change Hamilton's final result. Oscar Piastri finished 11th, just 4.0 seconds behind Hamilton, meaning an added penalty could drop the Ferrari driver out of the points.

The situation marks Hamilton's second complication of the same race. He had already received a five-second penalty after being judged to have made a false start by moving before the lights went out.

That first penalty was served at his pit stop, but the second investigation leaves Hamilton's podium result uncertain again. For Ferrari, the stewards' decision will be important because it could affect the team's constructors' points after Leclerc's victory.

The final British GP classification now depends on the outcome of the yellow flag investigation. If an additional penalty is applied, Hamilton risks losing the podium and potentially falling outside the top 10, dramatically changing Ferrari's Silverstone result.
