Hamilton’s 0.1km/h Penalty Explained | F1 News

Lewis Hamilton got slapped with a five-second penalty for going 0.1 km/h over the pitlane speed limit at the Hungarian GP — a tiny infraction that dropped him from fourth to fifth, even though he crossed the finish line ahead. Former driver Anthony Davidson, reviewing onboard footage, was baffled — he couldn’t spot where the speeding actually happened and noted Hamilton’s pitlane button press sounded perfect. Ferrari claimed it was on entry, but Davidson saw nothing wrong on either entry or exit. The timing system’s precision is now under scrutiny, and Hamilton himself was furious, saying he didn’t need to pit at all and could’ve fought for third.
