Why was Hamilton penalised but not Leclerc? F1 Q&A The inconsistency in recent Formula 1 penalties has raised questions about the FIA's handling of racing incidents.
At the Belgian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was penalized for a collision with George Russell, while Charles Leclerc escaped unscathed after an incident with Oscar Piastri.
According to the stewards' reports, Hamilton was deemed "wholly at fault" for the collision with Russell and received a five second time penalty.
