breaking news; Lewis Hamilton has been handed a three-place grid penalty, but F1 fans stunned over Lewis Hamilton penalty after footage emerges……..
Hamilton was deemed to have impeded Red Bull’s Sergio Perez during the first qualifying session at Zandvoort.
The incident had a major impact on Perez’s session, as he backed out of the lap and had to use an extra set of soft tyres – meaning he had one set less for Q3.
Hamilton, meanwhile, couldn’t get out of Q2 and qualified in 12th place.
The three-place grid penalty pushed him down to 15th, although the seven-time world champion has since gained a place back following Alex Albon’s disqualification.
Onboard footage showed that Hamilton was positioned on the outside of turn nine, with Perez turning in before feeling he had been impeded by the Mercedes.
The Mexican fumed over team radio, shouting: “What the f**k is this idiot doing?
