The FIA revisiting Lewis Hamilton’s amble across the race track in Qatar has been labelled as “inconsistent” by a Le Mans winner.
This position has been decried by various pundits, including Alex Brundle and Karun Chandhok, with the Sky F1 broadcaster pointing out that Max Verstappen had walked on the track tarmac to get back to the pits following a collision with Hamilton at Monza 2021.discussed the topic, with Jamie Chambers saying that Hamilton’s position as F1’s most visible driver makes his actions more influential.
“As soon as Lewis does something like that, we don’t say, ‘Oh, Hamilton got out of the car and walked away’, we say: ‘Lewis got out of the car and walked across the track’. It’s hugely influential. “I feel for Lewis because I’ve been in that position before and you’re completely wired, full of adrenaline,” he said.
