Bernie Collins says the FIA waived ‘black-and-white’ regulation for Lewis Hamilton in MalaysiaDuring the Bahrain Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton experienced software issues that affected his performance during the formation lap. The race was delayed due to a thunderstorm, and when it finally started, several drivers, including Hamilton and Max Verstappen, struggled to maintain speed, leading to a chaotic situation on the track. Former F1 strategist Bernie Collins commented that Hamilton should have forfeited his second-place starting position according to the rules. However, the FIA decided to suspend the start procedure and restore the original grid order, which has raised concerns about fairness among teams who performed better during the formation lap.

Lewis Hamilton big loser after slick tyre disaster at start of Bahrain GPLewis Hamilton faced a challenging start at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where his decision to start on slick tyres backfired significantly. The race was delayed due to a thunderstorm, and when it finally began, most drivers chose intermediates for the drying track, leaving Hamilton and a few others on slicks at a disadvantage. As the race progressed, Hamilton's position deteriorated, dropping him to 18th place after just a few laps. Despite a safety car caused by Valtteri Bottas' spin, Hamilton chose not to pit and ultimately finished the race in 15th position, well behind the leaders.
