Hamilton's German Grand Prix win under investigation

HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- German Grand Prix race winner Lewis Hamilton has been summoned to the stewards for crossing the line between pit lane entry and track in the latter stages of the race.

Hamilton, who started from 14th on the grid, took the lead of the race when Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen pitted ahead of him under the final Safety Car on lap 52 and 53. A mix-up in communication between the Mercedes pit wall and car 44 saw Hamilton go to enter the pit before bailing out at the last minute and cutting across the grass separating pit lane entrance and the track.
