The United States GP is here. The drivers are in the paddock. Yet, we are talking about what happened at the Qatar GP between Lewis Hamilton and George Russell and the consequences that followed the crash. FIA is trying its best to clamp down Lewis Hamilton’s recent mistake from ever happening again. However, the 7X champion reveals the only way that the governing body is getting a million out of him. What is the million all about?

Lewis Hamilton and FIA have been the talk of the town in the last couple of days. Lewis Hamilton crossed the live track after his crash in Qatar, which was then followed by a $52000 penalty. Nonetheless, the FIA decided to revisit the incident once again, categorizing it as a serious offense. To make sure that it doesn’t happen again, FIA has made a drastic change. 

Lewis Hamilton seems to be fine with the changes but only on one condition. Let’s figure out what the change is and what Lewis Hamilton’s condition is to accept the change.

Lewis Hamilton advises on the only way FIA is going to make him agree to the change

In light of the recent offense by Lewis Hamilton, F1’s governing body FIA decided that they will be quadrupling the maximum amount that a steward can fine. It was previously $264,000 but has now been pushed to a little over a million dollars. While many drivers don’t agree with the decision, Lewis Hamilton seems to be fine but has a condition.

Lewis Hamilton advised that if the FIA is pushing the drivers to pay a million dollars, then it for sure has to go to a great cause. He added how the F1 industry is flooded with money and that F1 itself needs to do a lot more to make the sport accessible and diverse. Putting the million to a cause is the only way Hamilton will pay the enormous fine.
