Lewis Hamilton is to face an investigation by the FIA for walking across the track during the Qatar Grand Prix last weekend.
It is the second time the incident has come under scrutiny, with the British driver having already been investigated and fined by the stewards at the race.
The decision to reopen the case is an almost unprecedented move which is already raising questions as to why Hamilton has been singled out by Formula One’s governing body, who cited his position as a “role model”.
Hamilton had crashed into his Mercedes teammate, George Russell, on the opening lap at the first corner in Qatar, putting him out of the race.
