JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia -- Lewis Hamilton could face a grid penalty at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after being summoned to the stewards for an alleged breach of yellow flag rules and a near miss with Haas driver Nikita Mazepin in final practice.
Hamilton was ordered to attend a hearing at 7 p.m. local time after initially being reported to the stewards for not respecting double yellow waved flags 22 minutes into the session.
Five minutes before the 7 p.m. hearing, a second summons was issued to Hamilton for impeding Mazepin at Turn 8.
Failing to slow sufficiently for double waved yellow flags is an offence under the FIA's International Sporting Code and usually carries a five-place grid penalty in Formula One.
