Document 66 Date 28 August 2022 Time 16:08 2022 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX 25 - 28 August 2022 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 44 - Lewis Hamilton Competitor Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team

Time 15:30

Session Race Fact Driver refused to visit Medical Centre following an on-track accident and Medical Warning Light signal. Offence Breach of Article 26.14 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Decision Warning for the driver. Reason The Stewards received a report from the Race Director that driver Hamilton refused to visit the Event Medical Service following his crash on Lap 1 where the Medical Warning Light threshold was exceeded and only did so after the Race Director informed the team that further action could be taken if he did not. This is not the first time this season that drivers (not Hamilton) have initially refused to go for a medical check. The Stewards issue a warning in this case, with a reminder to all drivers that stronger action may be taken in the future. Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
