Hours after the Russian Grand Prix, which culminated in Valtteri Bottas’ victory, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) announced on its official website that it had changed the penalty to Lewis Hamilton for new information from Mercedes and canceled two penalty points awarded to the British pilot.

7. GRAND PRIZE OF RUSSIA
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25
1st free training: 1. Bottas 1: 34,923
2nd free practice: 1. Bottas 1: 33.519
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
Free practice 3: 1. Hamilton 1: 33.279
Timer: one. Hamilton 1: 31.304
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
The competition: 1. Bottas, 2. Verstappen, 3. Hamilton
THE FOLLOWING RACES
October 11, 14.10 Eifel Grand Prix, Nürburgring
October 25, 14.10 Portuguese Grand Prix, Portimao
November 1, 13.10 Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna, Imola

The case is based on the fact that after the race reported by Mercedes, the team instructed Hamilton to carry out the starting exercises from the front, so the FIA ​​imposed a sanction on the stable instead of the British driver: Mercedes, Hamilton was fined 25 thousand euros. however, the two penalty points awarded were canceled from the competitor’s superlicense.

All of this means that Hamilton may feel somewhat more comfortable in the next four GPs, with eight penalty points remaining in the superlicense instead of ten, so he still has four points out of 12 instead of two, followed by a single penalty.

If the Brit had been left with 10 penalty points, he would have risked being penalized for even a minor infraction on any of the following four occasions.

Next time, after the Turkish Grand Prix on November 17, Hamilton’s points will go down and then two units will expire.
