Lewis Hamilton under threat as FIA launches Bahrain GP investigation

Lewis Hamilton is facing an investigation by FIA stewards after allegedly impeding Audi driver Gabriel Bortoleto during the second practice session at the Bahrain Grand Prix. This incident marks another in a series of recent blocking occurrences involving Hamilton, who finished fifth in the session while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc topped the timesheets.

Bortoleto voiced his frustration over the incident, stating that Hamilton was aware of his approach yet continued to block him. Hamilton, on the other hand, reported difficulties seeing through his right mirror. The stewards have scheduled a meeting with Hamilton and a Ferrari representative to discuss the incident further, which follows Hamilton's previous penalties for similar infractions.
