Vasseur commented on Hamilton's series of penalties.

      In the recent stages in the UK, Belgium, and Hungary, Lewis Hamilton received five-second penalties, but each for a different violation. At Silverstone, the seven-time world champion was penalized for a false start, in Spa he received a penalty for colliding with George Russell on the first lap, and in Hungary, Hamilton exceeded the speed limit in the pit lane by 0.1 km/h. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur believes that these three penalties cannot be placed in the same category. Frederic Vasseur: "It's hard to group all these penalties into one category. As for the incident with Russell, for me, it was a racing incident. If Lewis had to repeat that maneuver, I would ask him to do it exactly the same way because he couldn't drive on the curb. In Hungary, there was a whole series of mistakes. Lewis locked a wheel during the pit stop, which cost us a couple of tenths of a second. Then he tried to execute the pit lane exit optimally but started accelerating a little earlier than the optimal moment. When you start making mistakes, it's very easy to make another one. The past weekend is a good example of that. We tried to gain time in the pit stop, but in the end, we lost, and then Lewis found himself exiting the pit lane two tenths behind Kimi Antonelli. One mistake led to another. The limit was 80 km/h, the FIA agreed on a value of 80.05 km/h, and Lewis drove at 80.1 km/h. When a weekend goes poorly, a difference of 0.1 km/h turns out to be very significant — in the end, he received a penalty."
