Lewis Hamilton has avoided a grid penalty for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after allegedly overtaking under a red flag during practice.
The incident happened in FP3 on Saturday morning – the final session before qualifying for the 2022 season finale. The session was briefly stopped part way through, after a large piece of carbon fibre flew off Pierre Gasly's car and landed on the track.
The race director red flagged the session so marshals could enter the track to remove the piece of debris. At that time, Hamilton was on a flying lap and had just begun an overtaking manoeuvre on Lando Norris, who was moving much more slowly.
