 | Hamilton avoided penalty for overtaking incident under red flags in practice24-11-2022 |
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton avoided a ticket for speeding and overtaking under red flags.
The incident occurred during the third practice before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Hamilton overtook the Haas car at a time when the red flags were already on the track, and the session was stopped.
However, having studied all the circumstances of the incident, the stewards came to the conclusion that under the circumstances, Hamilton did everything he could to act within the rules.
After turning on the red flag mode, Hamilton completely let go of the gas and began to slow down, but at that moment the initial speed of the car was so high that the measures taken were not enough, and the Briton still overtook the Haas car by inertia.
