Lewis Hamilton has been summoned to the F1 stewards for an alleged
track limits infringement at the Singapore Grand Prix. After
equipping a set of soft tyres for the final stint, Hamilton made
significant progress and passed team-mate Charles Leclerc before
closing up to the back of Kimi Antonelli. It looked likely that the
seven-time champion was on for a fifth-place finish, which would
have marked his best result since Silverstone in July. However, he
was hit with a brake issue in the final laps and was forced to
dramatically reduce his pace in order to bring the car across the
finish line. Hamilton slipped back to seventh place and lost 45
seconds to Fernando Alonso on the final lap. However, he managed to
narrowly stay ahead of the Spaniard by four-tenths of a second at
the chequered flag. Hamilton will now visit the stewards who took
issue with the Briton's track limit excursions towards the end of
the grand prix. Should he be handed a five-second time penalty, it
would drop him back to eighth in the order.
