Lewis Hamilton has reportedly been promoted in the final classification of the Hungarian Grand Prix following a dramatic post-race FIA verdict that saw one of the drivers ahead of him disqualified after a technical inspection.

The decision came hours after the chequered flag, with FIA stewards confirming that the rival car failed to comply with post-race technical regulations. As a result, the driver was removed from the final standings, allowing Hamilton to gain an extra position.

The revised result provides a welcome boost for the seven-time world champion after what initially appeared to be a frustrating afternoon at the Hungaroring. Hamilton had battled throughout the race despite strategic setbacks and penalties, and the updated classification ensures Ferrari leaves Budapest with additional championship points.

The FIA is expected to publish the full details of the disqualification, including the specific regulation that was breached. Teams have the right to review the decision in accordance with Formula 1’s sporting regulations.

For Hamilton and Ferrari, the unexpected promotion offers a positive end to a difficult weekend and provides fresh momentum ahead of the next round of the championship.
