JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia -- Lewis Hamilton has escaped a penalty at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after the race stewards investigated two separate final practice incidents involving the Mercedes driver and decided neither warranted a drop of positions on the grid.
Hamilton was summoned to the stewards for ignoring double-waved yellow flags in the first half of the session and then for impeding Nikita Mazepin towards the end of the practice hour.
The stewards decided no further action was needed for the yellow flag incident and that only a reprimand (Hamilton's second of the year) was sufficient for impeding the Haas driver.
