The FIA investigated Lewis Hamilton for track limit violations at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday. Hamilton received five five-second penalties after breaching track limits on laps 60 and 61, dropping him to ninth place at Marina Bay Street Circuit. The Ferrari driver experienced brake power loss before the infractions occurred.
Race engineer Riccardo Adami informed Hamilton of the penalties, but the seven-time world champion questioned whether force majeure should exempt him from punishment. Hamilton faced additional scrutiny for an alleged red flag violation at practice earlier in the race weekend. The penalties impact Hamilton's championship standing and could affect Ferrari's season trajectory, with multiple races remaining on the calendar.
