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
