As there is still no decision made by the stewards, an exception has been made for Lewis Hamilton . The Briton is allowed to replace his rear wing to use it in VT2, because the other version is still in the possession of the FIA .
Since Saturday afternoon Lewis Hamilton's car has not had a rear wing. After Jo Bauer noticed that the rear wing of the Brit did not comply with the technical regulations, the part was confiscated by the FIA. Mercedes have since paid two visits to the stewards, but no decision has yet been made on whether Hamilton will receive a penalty or not.
New rear wing for Hamilton
The stewards have made an exception for the driver because of this. Hamilton has been given permission by the stewards to put a new rear wing on his car, Chris Medland reported on Twitter . Normally, no parts are allowed to be replaced under parc ferme if nothing has been broken or needs to be replaced urgently for another reason.
The reason Hamilton has been allowed a new rear wing is because the Brit cannot compete in the second free practice session. That session is now underway as the two teams await the results of the stewards' investigation.
