Lewis Hamilton will be fined if Mercedes star snubs FIA for third year in a row.
Lewis Hamilton has not attended the last two FIA prize gala ceremonies reports state that if he misses the event for the third time he will receive a punishment
Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton is set to be rebuffed on the off chance that he neglects to go to the 2023 FIA Prize Affair. The seven-time champion has not been available at the last two releases of the renowned service.
As indicated by FIA guidelines, champions are just delegated at the Occasion which happens toward the finish of the time. Required for drivers completed in the main three of the driver standings to be available. Hamilton came next in 2021 yet he decided not to go to the Affair because of the disputable way where he lost the title at that year’s Abu Dhabi Terrific Prix.
The Mercedes driver was also absent from the 2022 Prize Gala. However, he came sixth at the end of a disappointing 2022 campaign, and therefore he was not required to be at last year’s event. In 2023, with one race remaining, Hamilton has enjoyed a much improved season. The 38-year-old is third in the driver standings and is guaranteed to finish the year in the spot regardless of the outcome in Abu Dhabi next Sunday.
As a result, Hamilton will be required to make an appearance at the 2023 Prize Gala along with second-place Sergio Perez and the now three-time World Champion, Max Verstappen. If he fails to appear, he will be subject to a fine from the FIA. Several laps from the end of 2021’s final race in Abu Dhabi, the 38-year-old was cruising to a record eighth world title before Nicolas Latifi crashed several laps from the end, which brought out the safety car.
Former race director Michael Masi initially instructed that lapped cars could not overtake the safety vehicle until it left the track. This means there would not have been time for Verstappen to get behind his rival before the allotted number of laps had been completed.
However, the Australian shockingly and controversially changed his mind, allowing the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to un-lap themselves before ordering the safety car off the track. Therefore, the Dutchman was allowed to go side by side with the British driver before overtaking him in a one-lap shootout, benefiting from driving on far newer tires and sealing his first ever world title.
“Yet, we’ve cooperated to bring in certain that the cash will be put towards young people from oppressed foundations [to help] them get into motorsport designing.” In 2022, Hamilton won the Activity of the Year grant as decided in favor of by fans, yet he was not in that frame of mind to gather it by and by. He won it for his astounding battle with Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez at the 2022 English Great Prix.
All the more explicitly, it was for surpassing the two of them in a similar move. Hamilton completed third in that race, while Carlos Sainz proceeded to guarantee his absolute first F1 race win. It is not yet clear on the off chance that Hamilton will be at the 2023 Award Function, however before that, he will expect major areas of strength for a to the season at Sunday’s Abu Dhabi GP.
