Why was Hamilton penalised but not Leclerc? - F1 Q&A

Kimi Antonelli secured victory at the Belgian Grand Prix, increasing his championship lead to 45 points. The race saw George Russell retire after colliding with Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth and moved into second place in the standings, while Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen completed the podium in second and third, respectively.

The stewards penalized Hamilton for the collision, attributing fault to him, while Leclerc escaped penalty for a separate incident. The event also set a record attendance of 400,000. Mercedes faced issues with their power unit, which affected both Russell and Antonelli's performance during the race.
