Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso hit with penalties in Austrian GP

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso have been hit with penalties during the F1 Austrian Grand Prix.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton was handed a five-second time penalty for crossing the white line on the entry to the pitlane as he boxed for a tyre change at the end of Lap 22.

Hamilton apologised to Mercedes over team radio for the error, before team principal Toto Wolff said: “Lewis there is everything to play here, everything to play!”

Meanwhile, Aston Martin’s Alonso picked up a 10-second time penalty for hitting Zhou Guanyu at Turn 3 as he forcefully moved past the Sauber driver. 

Max Verstappen was later hit with a 10-second time penalty for the contact which ended Lando Norris' race.

With Norris out, and Verstappen fifth, the Austrian Grand Prix was won by George Russell.
