Hamilton’s Grid Penalty Gives Him ‘More to Fight for’ in Monza Debut with Ferrari

Hamilton received a five-place grid penalty for not slowing enough under double-waved yellow flags at the Dutch Grand Prix, adding challenge to his first Monza race with Ferrari.

  • On Thursday, Lewis Hamilton said he was `really shocked` after learning he will serve a five-place grid penalty at Monza.
  • The incident involved passing through a double-waved yellow zone, which stewards found Hamilton did not reduce speed sufficiently, risking the safety of track staff on reconnaissance laps at Zandvoort.
  • Officials added that the ruling came hours after the race, and Hamilton was given two penalty points on his FIA Super Licence, which he found frustrating.
  • With qualifying already tight, Hamilton noted the penalty complicates efforts but "gives me more to fight for" as he aims to recover places at Ferrari's home race challenge.
  • With fifteen races complete, observers note Lewis Hamilton, age 40, has struggled to find rhythm with Ferrari, and Monza could reveal if this year's lack of podiums is a pattern.
