JUST IN: FIA Verdict Promotes Lewis Hamilton in Hungarian Grand Prix After Post-Race Disqualification

 

Lewis Hamilton has officially been promoted in the final classification of the Hungarian Grand Prix after the FIA confirmed a post-race disqualification that reshaped the finishing order.

 

The decision came following routine technical inspections, where one of the cars that finished ahead of Hamilton was found to have breached the FIA’s technical regulations. As a result, the driver was disqualified from the race, allowing the Ferrari star to move up one position in the final standings.

 

The revised result is a timely boost for the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, whose race had initially ended in disappointment after battling through strategic challenges and penalties at the Hungaroring. The promotion also hands Ferrari valuable additional championship points as the season continues.

 

The FIA is expected to release a detailed report outlining the specific technical infringement that led to the disqualification. Under Formula 1’s sporting regulations, the affected team retains the right to review the stewards’ decision through the appropriate procedures.

 

For Hamilton and Ferrari, the updated classification provides a more positive conclusion to a difficult weekend and offers renewed momentum heading into the next round of the Formula 1 championship.
