The world champion Lewis Hamilton leads from start to finish a dominant 25-second victory in the Italian Grand Prix, but Mercedes risk a 25 second penalty or Disqualification by incorrect tyre pressure's; Sebastian Vettel second ahead of Felipe Massa; Before the final two laps of the race Niko Rosberg, suffered an engine explosion Kimi Raikkonen fifth after almost stalling on starting grid.
The FIA announced that Mercedes-AMG had been called to the stewards in relation to an alleged tyre pressure infringement with its first set of Pirelli tyres on both their cars at the start of the Italian race.
So looks as if Mercedes are under investigation for incorrect tyre pressure's, the left-rear pressure in the tyre on Mercedes cars was 1.1psi too low.
Even though these wonderful Italian fans would have deserved a Ferrari victory in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Hamilton should still get the victory. Sure, it was unsafe, but a lower tyre pressure is more of a hindrance than an advantage.
Mercedes-AMG and Lewis Hamilton risk a 25 second penalty or Disqualification.
And if the stewards knew before the start of the race, why a) Did they not do something about it then; b) Why did Mercedes not do something about it then? c) if the tyre pressure are checked on the grid and found to be low, why wait till close to the end of the race to inform the team? why not flag it then get get the team to change the tyres as soon as? especialy as its a safety issue! these are some questions which will continue for an answer for long time.
later the Officials from Mercedes confirmed that there will not be a penalty issued by the FIA against Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton.
