FIA Summons Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton Over Sus…read more
In a stunning turn of events just days before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the FIA has issued a formal summons to Lewis Hamilton and the Ferrari team over a suspected breach of Formula 1 regulations. The specific nature of the infraction has not been publicly disclosed, but multiple sources within the paddock suggest it may involve technical or procedural irregularities detected during pre-race preparations.
The summons adds a fresh layer of drama to what was already one of the most highly anticipated races of the season. Hamilton, who made headlines earlier this year by making the shock switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, is set to make his first home Grand Prix appearance in scarlet red — a moment fans have been eagerly waiting for. However, this development could seriously disrupt both his momentum and Ferrari’s race strategy for the weekend.
FIA officials have confirmed that Hamilton and key Ferrari representatives are required to appear before race stewards for questioning. While no penalties or outcomes have been announced, the situation could potentially result in anything from a warning or fine to more severe sporting sanctions, depending on the findings of the investigation.
The atmosphere in the Ferrari garage is said to be tense, with engineers and legal teams working around the clock to prepare their case. Meanwhile, Hamilton remained composed in the paddock, declining to comment directly but stating through a team spokesperson that he is “fully cooperating with the FIA and focused on delivering a strong performance at Silverstone.”
This incident comes amid growing scrutiny across the grid, as the FIA has ramped up its enforcement of technical and sporting regulations this season. With championship points at stake and rival teams closely watching, the outcome of this investigation could have significant implications not only for Ferrari’s British GP campaign but also for the ongoing title battle.
An official ruling from the FIA is expected ahead of Saturday’s qualifying session.
