In a shocking turn of events, the FIA has officially confirmed penalties for both Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton after two violations during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The governing body’s statement has stunned the Formula 1 community, as both drivers now face consequences for their actions during the high-stakes race.

The FIA cited two specific infractions that led to the penalties:

Track Limit Violations: Both Verstappen and Hamilton were found to have exceeded track limits multiple times throughout the race, gaining an unfair advantage in certain sections of the circuit. This infraction was closely monitored, and after reviewing footage, the FIA determined that both drivers had committed repeated violations.

Unsafe Conduct in the Pit Lane: In a separate incident, both drivers were involved in what the FIA deemed “unsafe conduct” during their pit stops. The specifics of this violation include failing to adhere to safety protocols that could have potentially endangered other teams’ crews and personnel in the pit lane.

The penalties for both Verstappen and Hamilton could range from grid penalties in upcoming races to fines, depending on the severity of each violation. The FIA’s decision to penalize both drivers has raised concerns about consistency in enforcing race regulations, especially with two of the sport’s biggest stars involved.

This development adds a new layer of drama to the ongoing rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen, as fans await the full implications of the FIA’s decision. With the next race just around the corner, both drivers will need to adapt quickly to any sanctions that may impact their championship battles.
