LEWIS HAMILTON was fined a whopping \u20ac50,000 for walking across the race track following his first lap shunt with George Russell.<\/p>\n

Half will be suspended, so long as he does not make the same mistake between now and the end of the year.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It means that \u20ac25,000 of the total fine, which was worth about \u00a343,000, will be heading to the FIA coffers.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the FIA, their lavish end of year gala is still due to be held in Baku, despite growing political tensions with Azerbaijan's neighbours, Armenia.<\/p>\n

Hamilton crashed out of Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix after colliding with Mercedes team-mate Russell at turn one.<\/p>\n

He was forced to retire from the race on the opening lap, while Russell went on to finish fourth despite suffering damage to his car.<\/p>\n

After the race, the seven-time world champion took full responsibility for the incident.<\/p>\n

He told Sky Sports: "I think we are a great team. George and I still have a great relationship. We will discuss things and work away.<\/p>\n

"I'm happy to take responsibility as the older guy. I don't think George had anywhere to go at that point.<\/p>\n

"I was trying to get ahead of both of them and just an unfortunate situation. I had the worst tyre of everyone around me, so I needed to try and get ahead. Big risk, big penalty."<\/p>\n
