Tension is mounting in the Formula 1 paddock as the FIA has officially summoned Lewis Hamilton and the Ferrari team over a suspected technical breach discovered during pre-race inspections ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion, who is in his debut season with Ferrari, could now face serious scrutiny after FIA inspectors reportedly flagged inconsistencies in the SF-24’s floor structure and power unit deployment.
Initial findings indicate that telemetry data from Hamilton’s car showed unusual performance spikes during qualifying simulations—prompting a closer inspection by FIA officials. While no official rule violation has yet been confirmed, the governing body is keen to investigate whether Ferrari has potentially breached any article of the technical regulations.
Ferrari issued a short statement acknowledging the summons, confirming their full cooperation with the FIA and expressing confidence that the investigation will clear any suspicion of wrongdoing. “We are working closely with the FIA to clarify the matter and remain confident in the legality of our car,” a team spokesperson said.
Hamilton, currently under pressure to deliver results in his first year in red, faces potential consequences ranging from a reprimand to a grid penalty—or worse—should the FIA determine that a breach has occurred.
With championship points and Ferrari’s reputation at stake, this latest development has sent shockwaves through the paddock. A formal hearing is expected to take place later today, with a ruling anticipated before the final practice session.
