Lewis Hamilton was unfariyl targetted after the Qatar Grand Prix, says Johnny Herbert, but not by the FIA...
Grand Prix winner and former Sky F1 pundit Johnny Herbert believes Lewis Hamilton has been singled out for unfair criticism.
The track walk, under the initial investigation, netted Hamilton a €50,000 fine and a reprimand – before the governing body decided to revisit the investigation citing Hamilton’s role model status, the result of which is still unknown.While there has been plenty of discussion from various pundits that Hamilton has been unfairly singled out by the FIA, three-time Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert believes Hamilton has been unfairly singled out – but not for the track walk.
While Hamilton might have been the offending party in this particular incident, Herbert said his general clean racing etiquette means that mistakes like that are easily forgiven.“Even a seven-time World Champion makes mistakes. Even the best have made mistakes. And Lewis has made very few mistakes in his career. I’d struggle to count them on the fingers of one hand.
With social media bringing out the worst in the respective fandoms of both Hamilton and Max Verstappen, which is evident with a cursory glance at any social media platform during a Grand Prix weekend, what is it about Hamilton that Herbert believes brings out such negativity about the Mercedes driver?“You never saw the characters come out. The series has drawn people into that world.
