Otherwise, the one-time ban almost came to pass.

There was a turning point in Lewis Hamilton’s punishment at the Russian Grand Prix: the FIA ​​subsequently canceled his penalty points, citing new information provided by Mercedes, writes M4 Sport.

The British 2 penalty points awarded for his irregular practice prior to the Russian Grand Prix will be canceled. The alliance re-examined the case and imposed a sanction on Mercedes instead of Hamilton: they have to pay 25,000 euros.

It was no accident that Mercedes dived, writes M4 Sport. Hamilton increased his score to 10 with his two penalty points on Sunday, preventing him from being banned from 2 drives in a single race. By convincing the FIA ​​that the penalty was due to them, the stars saved their driver from being threatened with missing a race for the slightest infraction during the next four Grand Prix weekends.

Sunday’s grand prix was won by Finnish Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas after defending defending champion and six-time world champion teammate Lewis Hamilton, who led the compound points race, with a 10-second penalty during the career.
