MOTORSPORT – Lewis Hamilton will have a five-place grid penalty for his first Italian Grand Prix at Monza as a Ferrari driver next weekend after he failed to slow sufficiently for warning flags at Sunday’s Dutch Grand Prix.
The penalty for the infringement while driving to the starting grid at Zandvoort capped a grim weekend for Formula One’s oldest and most glamorous team in the run-up to their home race.
Seven-times world champion Hamilton and teammate Charles Leclerc crashed out of the race in separate incidents, a blank that left Ferrari still second overall but 324 points adrift of runaway leaders McLaren.
