lucky for Lewis Hamilton: The formula 1 world champion after Qualifying for the Grand Prix of Austria to a transfer, been around, and is more of a place in the first race of the season (Sunday, 15.10 PM/RTL and Sky).

This decided the race stewards in Spielberg on Saturday evening after an investigation. Hamilton was painted in a quick lap in the final Qualifying section for Exceeding the track limits, but this did not change the placement of the 35-year-old British directly behind his Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas.

more serious could be rating a different circumstance: After a ride Bottas' had Hamilton slowed down for Yellow flags in all its glory sufficient. The Stewards cleared the British, however, in this matter of a debt. Otherwise, you would have expected him to be a transfer, three to five places.

"I drove around the curve, went on the Gas and thought that Valtteri may have come off the track, and later again back to it is dangers," said Hamilton after qualifying: "I looked after the gravel or a car on the track - but there was nothing there, so I made more."

Also from the perspective of Mercedes Motorsport head Toto Wolff, a punishment for his Star would have been pilots disproportionate: "Lewis has confirmed to us that he has not seen the Yellow flag, because it has so free. We have looked at various Onboard settings-from there, you could not see the Signal."
