Hamilton risks being stripped of German GP win

23 Jul, 2018

Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton risks being stripped of his German Grand Prix victory after being summoned by Hockenheim stewards on Sunday for a possible pit-lane infringement. Stewards were investigating whether the Mercedes driver, who won from 14th on the grid, illegally crossed a line separating the entry from the track when he hurriedly changed his mind about pitting during a safety car period.
Hamilton, who could be handed a time penalty if found guilty of the offence, finished 4.5 seconds ahead of Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas and 6.7 clear of Ferrari's third-placed Kimi Raikkonen. Raikkonen collected a five-second penalty in Azerbaijan two years ago for a pitlane offence.
