During the third practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was placed under investigation by the stewards for not slowing down enough under a red flag. Could a penalty be on the way for the Ferrari driver? The final decision is expected after the session, almost certainly before qualifying, and it could be a significant setback for Hamilton and Ferrari on a tight street circuit like Marina Bay.
Lewis Hamilton is believed to have failed to reduce his speed adequately while returning to the pits after passing the section of the track where Logan Sargeant’s car had stopped, which had triggered the red flag. For the Ferrari driver, this represents another lapse in concentration this season, coming shortly after a similar error at Zandvoort that cost him three grid positions at Monza.
For Ferrari and its team officials, this Saturday will require extensive behind-the-scenes work, following the avoidance of a penalty for Charles Leclerc after his pit lane collision with Lando Norris during Friday’s second practice session. After FP3, Lewis Hamilton will have to appear before the stewards to hear the outcome of the investigation, which could result in a significant penalty if the seriousness of the infraction is confirmed.
