Hamilton on avoiding further FIA penalties
Lewis Hamilton says he must stop giving FIA stewards “any reason” to penalise him after picking up his fourth sanction in three Formula 1 weekends at the Hungarian Grand Prix, including a five-second penalty for pitlane speeding that dropped him from fourth on the road to fifth behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc. Hamilton said: "Ultimately, I think the last three races have been pretty bad from my side. I've got to try and make sure I don't give them any reason to give me any penalties moving forwards."

It's been a long time coming this season.

Hamilton on inconsistent stewarding after Hungarian GP penalties
Lewis Hamilton says Formula 1’s stewards have been inconsistent, after he received a three-place grid penalty and a five-second race penalty at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Hamilton said: "The last two races have been pretty bad from my side. Silverstone was my fault. We did talk about it in the driver's briefing, about the fact that they're inconsistent with the start. There's been drives in the past that have moved and haven't been penalised. We discussed with them the fact that as long as you're not moving when the lights are on, you shouldn't be penalised. I wasn't at my box, and they agreed. So they're looking into that."
