Lewis Hamilton has escaped a grid penalty. The seven-time world champion missed the FIA gala last year and FIA regulations dictate that the Mercedes driver could receive a grid penalty for that. It will not come to that, however. Hamilton donates 50,000 euros.
Hamilton and Mohammed Ben-Sulayem met on Thursday to discuss how motorsport can become more inclusive. The British driver has many ideas on the subject and the FIA wanted to hear his views on how things could be done better on a social level in the future.
The statement states that 50,000 euros will be donated by Hamilton, but earlier on Friday he already spoke of a fine. Hamilton also said then that this money would go to charity.
