, claiming the driver has always been good at exploiting the grey areas of the regulations which led him to escape a penalty after last weekend's clash with Lando Norris at the United States Grand Prix. Hamilton also called out theWhile Ferrari stole the show last weekend at the Circuit of the Americas with a 1-2 finish, the true highlight came from the intense clash between Norris and Verstappen. In the race’s final stages, Norris was determined to find an opening to overtake the Dutchman.
Verstappen also crossed the white line in the process, leading Norris to pass him off the track and cross the finish line ahead of him in third position. However, the FIA stewards issued Norris a 5-second penalty for completing the overtake off-track and failing to return the position. That put Verstappen in third place, followed by the British driver in fourth., aiming for the FIA stewards to reverse the penalty ruling.
"There definitely has to be something done about it because it's happening a lot now. You shouldn't be able to come off the brakes, run more speed in, go off track and still hold your place." In addition, the 39-year-old has called for consistency in FIA rulings, emphasizing that Formula 1 needs full-time stewards like other sports where the referees are fixed. He said:"Also, you do have inconsistencies on rulings, weekend in, weekend out, obviously depending on which stewards are there.
"As a sport, we do need to level up on all areas. You look at other global sports, they have full-time refs, and I'm sure that wouldn't be a bad thing for our sport."
