Lewis Hamilton’s much-celebrated victory for Ferrari has been overshadowed by a post-race disqualification, sending shockwaves through the F1 community. The British driver, who recently made the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, had crossed the finish line first, marking what seemed to be a historic triumph with his new team. However, FIA officials later ruled that his car was not in compliance with regulations, leading to his disqualification.
The decision came after post-race inspections revealed technical irregularities. While Ferrari has yet to issue a full statement, early reports suggest that the issue may have been related to the car’s floor or ride height. Team principal Frédéric Vasseur expressed disappointment but stated that they would respect the FIA’s ruling.
With Hamilton’s disqualification, the race victory was awarded to the second-place finisher, shifting the championship standings significantly. The ruling has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some questioning the FIA’s consistency in enforcing regulations.
Despite the setback, Hamilton remains optimistic about the season ahead. “It’s frustrating, of course, but we’ll come back stronger,” he said in a brief post-race interview. Ferrari, meanwhile, will be working hard to ensure no further technical breaches occur as they aim to challenge for both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships.
This controversy adds another chapter to Hamilton’s eventful career and his transition to Ferrari, raising questions about how the team will respond in the coming races.
