After retiring in Qatar, Lewis Hamilton crossed the track on foot, for which he was fined 50,000 euros (half of the fine was declared suspended until the end of the season), but the FIA unexpectedly announced that he had bad example for drivers from the youth series – and this incident will be reconsidered, although the Briton apologized in Qatar.
On Thursday, Lewis was asked about this situation again in Austin…
Lewis Hamilton: “I don’t think the wording is correct. They probably meant something else. The goal seems to be to prevent something like this from happening again in the future.
Recently there was an incident with a go-kart where a child was hit, we really have to pay constant attention to safety. As for the FIA’s press statement, they need to talk to their PR guy to do their job better.
After the race I spoke to the stewards and apologized. Clearly the decision to cross the highway was wrong; it is clear that this is not possible. Now it is important to convey this to young riders.
I have apologized and I think they just want to make sure this doesn’t happen again in the future.”
