Lewis Hamilton received a 10-second penalty during the Mexico City Grand Prix, which saw him drop to eighth position. The penalty was issued for cutting Turn 4 and gaining a lasting advantage after locking up and rejoining the track ahead of Max Verstappen. Hamilton criticised the decision as “pretty nuts”, arguing that other drivers also cut corners but avoided similar penalties, highlighting perceived inconsistency. He explained that he went off track due to pinching the front and the dusty conditions of the exit road, feeling unfairly singled out. Despite the setback, Hamilton expressed enjoyment from the racing itself and remains focused on the remaining races of the 2025 season.
