Red bull’s request to review the penalty given to Hamilton after the 180 mph incident in the Silverstone Grand Prix which sent the current driver’s championship leader, Max Verstappen into the barrier at copse corner was dismissed by the FIA stewards.
The incident was a $1.8 million setback for the team according to Red Bull team Principal Christian Horner. Red Bull Racing says Hamilton’s 10-second penalty is “Mild penalties for these types of incidents”
The FIA review was held and the hearing happened right before the Hungarian Grand Prix probably to disperse some the heat between the seven time world champion and Max Verstappen.
Four pieces of evidence were used by Red Bull to support their case
According to the FIA:
The new evidence according to FIA was not significant and new , it was basically derived from evidence already considered at the time of the decision made to give a 10 sec penalty to Hamilton
The evidence in appendix 2 were not “discovered” but created based on GPS data to support the petition , which is in clear violation of article 14
Without any surprise the Stewards ruled in favour of Mercedes and Hamilton.
The current Mclaren driver Daniel Ricciardo was clearly neutral and called the incident “completely unintentional”
“When you’re in such a high-speed corner and just side-by-side, you’re both going to lose aero, particularly Lewis there with Max kind of in a little bit of dirty air,” Ricciardo said.
“But I think they were both going in hot.
“Ultimately Lewis went in too hot for the given level of grip and that’s where you see he just drifted up into Max.
“Completely unintentional, but just the nature of the aero on these cars and you just have to allow a little more.Official statement source
