Lewis Hamilton at risk as FIA launch investigation over potential Singapore GP breach

Lewis Hamilton is under FIA investigation for repeated track‑limit breaches at the Singapore GP, potentially triggering time penalties that cost him positions. For punters, expect shorter confidence in Hamilton for street‑circuit results — consider hedging outright bets or wagering on over/under finishing positions and rival drivers to cover potential penalty impacts.

Hamilton under FIA investigation after Singapore Grand Prix track‑limit breaches

Lewis Hamilton has been placed under investigation by the FIA after alleged track‑limits violations in the closing stages of the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Stewards reviewed several incidents near the race end that could carry time penalties and affect Hamilton’s final classification.

What happened on track

Hamilton was cited for exceeding track limits on laps 60 and 61 as the race wound down. Team radio suggested multiple five‑second penalties for track‑limit breaches potentially cost him positions, with Hamilton later complaining of a loss of brake power as he crossed the line.

Earlier procedure breach and stewards’ scrutiny

This inquiry follows an earlier stewards’ appearance over an alleged red‑flag procedural violation in practice, marking it as Hamilton’s second investigation of the weekend. The FIA will determine whether any sporting or time penalties apply once the review is complete.

Potential sanctions and timing

Possible outcomes range from time penalties added to Hamilton’s race result to fines or further disciplinary steps if procedural rules were breached. Any retroactive time addition could alter finishing positions and championship points, depending on the stewards’ findings.

Betting implications

Punters should factor increased uncertainty into markets involving Hamilton at street circuits. Expect bookmakers to adjust odds for top‑10 finishes or podiums if penalties are confirmed. Consider hedging outright selections, targeting rival drivers in position markets, or using over/under finishing position bets to manage risk tied to post‑race penalties.

What to expect next

The FIA stewards will announce their findings after reviewing telemetry, video evidence and team explanations. Confirmation of penalties will be published ahead of any appeals process and could influence team strategies and betting markets for upcoming races.
