2026 British GP: Hamilton podium stays after probe

Reports from Autosport, Motorsport.com and RaceFans said Lewis Hamilton kept third at Silverstone after a yellow-flag reprimand from stewards.

Lewis Hamilton kept third place at the British Grand Prix after stewards issued a reprimand over an alleged yellow-flag infringement, according to reports from Autosport, Motorsport.com and RaceFans. Those outlets said Hamilton and a Ferrari representative were summoned after the Silverstone race to answer a potential breach, with the FIA summons document not specifying the exact moment under review.

Autosport and Motorsport.com reported the case related to Hamilton allegedly failing to slow in a yellow-flag zone near a stranded car during the race. They also said Hamilton expected to lose the podium before the stewards' decision, but the reported reprimand meant his result stood. Hamilton, born on 7 January 1985, is in his Formula 1 career spanning 2007 to 2026 with McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari, and he sits third in the 2026 drivers' championship on 147 points.
