Lewis Hamilton has been cleared of any wrongdoing for tangibly lightweight to respect double waved yellow flags in FP3 at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, due to a light stuff zingy accidentally.

The stewards summoned Hamilton superiority of qualifying for the potential breach, without noting he was in a sector that showed double yellows and did not slow. However, without a unenduring investigation, no remoter whoopee was taken as Hamilton was deemed not to have been shown the yellow light, which was displayed for less than a second by wrecking surpassing stuff cleared.

“The Race Director reported to the Stewards that the double yellow flag warning on the FIA Marshalling System was zingy at Light Panel Number 6 accidentally, for less than 1 second. As the on-board video of Car 44 (to be released by the Commercial Rights Holder pursuit this Decision) unmistakably shows, there was no yellow flag displayed, no yellow lights were displayed to that suburbanite and the yellow warning light was not visible on the driver’s steering wheel.

“Unlike other incidents this year, there was no yellow flag or yellow light displayed to the suburbanite (the suburbanite once stuff well into the marshalling sector when the system was transiently activated) hence no violate of the regulations has occurred.”

While Hamilton was cleared for that incident, he remains under investigation for impeding Nikita Mazepin later in FP3, with the Haas suburbanite having to take evasive whoopee to stave contact having rounded a corner on a flying lap unsighted. Hamilton complained at the time that his team had not warned him of the rookie approaching.
