The saga kicked off with the FIA levying a time penalty on Hamilton for practicing in an undesignated area, which was considered a ‘safety violation’. The sanctions also saw the regulatory body award him two penalty points, although that was rescinded soon enough.
Lewis Hamilton felt the penalty was unjustified considering he was the pole sitter in the race. And he made his feelings particularly clear over the team radio interactions. Still, he finished 3rd after serving his penalty in the pits.
Mercedes’ efforts concentrated on sealing the season’s titles

Hamilton has his team to thank for the withdrawal of the penalty points. The team radio reviewed by the FIA convinced them that Hamilton’s mistake was due to an ‘improper instructions’ from the team, and Mercedes were duly penalized for the same.
Regardless, Mercedes will want to put this behind them and move on. With 8 races to go, the German manufacturer would be targeting the Nurburgring race, as moving a step closer to their seventh Constructors’ Championship.
