Lewis Hamilton could be penalized ahead of Hungarian GP

Mercedes F1's Lewis Hamilton could be penalized further for his British GP collision with Max Verstappen after Red Bull Racing submitted a petition to the stewards to review the crash once again. As per FIA's International Sporting Code, the teams have a right of review for up to 14 days after a stewards' ruling if 'a significant and relevant new element is discovered which was unavailable to the parties seeking the review at the time of the decision concerned.' The 14-day period expires on August 1.

The review request comes after Red Bull Racing cited the financial impact the accident caused on the team. "That crash has cost us approximately $1.8million (£1.3m). An accident like that has massive ramifications in a budget cap era," explained Christian Horner. Budgets are an important aspect in the 2021 season as teams are not allowed to spend more than $145m this year.
