Hamilton facing possible Austria grid penalty

Matthew Scott Saturday 29 June 2019 15:39

Lewis Hamilton is at risk of a grid penalty for the Austrian Grand Prix after blocking Kimi Raikkonen in the first segment of Saturday's qualifying.

Stewards opened an investigation into Hamilton after he got in the Finn's way during Q1.

Raikkonen offered Hamilton a one-fingered salute for good measure.

It mattered little to either at the time as both made it through, but there is a strong precedent for a three-place penalty to be applied.
