The FIA initially examined the incident and penalized Hamilton with a substantial fine of €50,000. Alongside the fine, Hamilton received an official reprimand, with half of the fine suspended on the condition that he doesn’t commit any further transgressions for the remainder of the season.
However, the governing body’s decision to revisit the incident has reignited the debate. In a statement, the FIA expressed concerns about the impression Hamilton’s actions may have left on younger drivers, citing his role model status.
