The seven-time F1 world champion picked up his first reprimand of the season and was fined €50,000 - €25,000 of which was suspended for the remainder of the season - for crossing the live circuit on his way back to the pits, having crashed out at the first corner after a clash with Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
But the FIA launched a review into his actions and the penalty given out, with an FIA spokesperson stating "In view of his role model status, the FIA is concerned about the impression his actions may have created on younger drivers".
