Lewis Hamilton has been handed a three-place grid penalty for today's Dutch Grand Prix - but fans aren't sure after seeing the onboard footage.
The incident had a major impact on Perez's session, as he backed out of the lap and had to use an extra set of soft tyres - meaning he had one set less for Q3.The three-place grid penalty pushed him down to 15th, although the seven-time world champion has since gained a place back following Alex Albon's disqualification.
Hamilton himself admitted that the timing of his position on track was 'bad', given Perez's oncoming arrival to the turn.Perez agreed with Hamilton's assessment and had sympathy for his position, but said he 'expected' him to get a penalty due to how strict the stewards have been this season.
