Lewis Hamilton: 10-Second Penalty

Hamilton finished eighth in the Mexico City Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Hamilton showed great pace all weekend in Mexico and seemed poised for a podium run. However, he would run into some headwinds in that regard during the grand prix. A lap 1 battle with Max Verstappen would see the Ferrari star go off-course in turn 4 and gain a time advantage. The stewards would note the incident and later hit Hamilton with a 10-second time penalty that he would serve on his opening pit stop. That would drop Hamilton back to P14 as a result and he'd spend the rest of the day recapturing positions lost to finish a somewhat disappointing P8 in the Mexico City GP.
