JUST IN: Ferrari F1 Team Confirms Lewis Hamilton Is NOT P… See details 👇

Ferrari has received welcome clarification regarding Lewis Hamilton after the latest scrutiny surrounding the seven-time world champion, with the team confirming that Hamilton himself will not receive a further sporting penalty.
The development comes at a crucial moment for Hamilton, who has endured a difficult run of races with Ferrari and has attracted increasing attention over a series of FIA investigations and penalties.
The most recent confirmed precedent came at the Belgian Grand Prix, when an incident during Hamilton’s pit stop resulted in Ferrari being fined by the FIA. Hamilton was not personally handed a sporting penalty for the incident. �

That distinction is particularly important given Hamilton’s recent disciplinary record. The Briton has already faced several penalties during the 2026 campaign, including a five-second penalty at the Hungarian Grand Prix after exceeding the pit-lane speed limit. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur subsequently acknowledged that the error came from Hamilton activating the speed limiter slightly too late. �

Ferrari’s latest position
The confirmation that Hamilton will not receive another punishment provides some relief for Ferrari as the team prepares for the second half of the season.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari was expected to bring a major championship challenge, but his first season with the Scuderia has been far more complicated than many predicted. Penalties, strategy mistakes and performance issues have repeatedly overshadowed flashes of strong pace.
The absence of another penalty means Hamilton can at least focus on his driving rather than worrying about another immediate loss of championship points or grid positions.
However, the bigger issue remains Ferrari’s ability to give him a car capable of consistently fighting at the front.
Hamilton still under pressure
Despite avoiding another sanction, Hamilton remains under significant pressure.
Former FIA steward Johnny Herbert recently defended the officials following Hamilton’s criticism of his recent penalties, highlighting just how contentious the subject has become around the Ferrari driver. �

With the 2026 championship battle continuing after the summer break, every point could become increasingly valuable.
