Lewis Hamilton: Only I was fined for cutting the corner.
Lewis Hamilton joined Fernando Alonso in criticizing the stewards of the Mexican Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver received a 10-second penalty for going off track and gaining an advantage. Lewis considers it unfair, since rivals who made the same maneuvers were not penalized.
Lewis Hamilton: "I had a great start, braked before the first corner and went through the first, second and third corners without going off track. Others cut the corner, kept their positions and didn't receive penalties. It's just madness.
Max and I had a great fight, and I acted pretty much the same as everyone else around me. Max also cut, but only I got a 10-second penalty. I locked up the front wheels and ended up with my wheels on the dustiest place in the world, went onto the grass, and then returned to the track via the designated path."
Despite the penalty, Lewis said there were positive moments in the race and he does not intend to give up the fight: "I don't know what to expect going forward, but I will keep trying. I'll wake up tomorrow and keep training. I can't afford to let external factors, which don't always help, stop me from moving forward."
