Lewis Hamilton is investigated by the stewards for leaving a track and gaining an advantage after the Sprint of the Canadian Grand Prix.
The British driver finished sixth during the Sprint at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, after running much of the session in fourth place. During the final lap, he lost two positions to Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc. Now, he is also investigated by the stewards for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
The incident occurred at Turn 13 but was not shown on TV. If Hamilton receives a five-second penalty, he would still finish P6, while a 10-second penalty would promote Max Verstappen to sixth place in Canada.

Hamilton not penalized

After reviewing the incident, the stewards decided not to penalize the Ferrari driver. As a result, he will retain sixth place and also keep the three points he scored today.
