Five-time world champion he told a news conference Thursday that he was during a summer break "In dialogue with the team, although this is not very common during breaks." As he said, he "wanted to see if we could make any further progress."
Friday night is in paddock ended as it rounded out the information that the FIA was against the Mercedes team initiated an investigation, which is supposed to explain whether the team violated the rules regarding the ban on work during the summer break.
Hamilton's statement was controversial mainly because F1 is subject to a strict work ban during the summer break. The ban was introduced a few years ago to allow team staff some much-needed rest, while relieving teams of labor costs. It should be noted that the ban applies only to a period of two weeks the entire summer break lasts four weeks.
Michael Massi, the competition leader at the FIA, who was investigating a possible breach of the ban, questioned Mercedes executives about Hamilton's statement and got an appropriate response for him and for the FIA, which washed the silver of guilt. Hamilton took into account his summer break in the statement, which began immediately after the race for Hungarian GP, while they worked for the team until Friday, when the official ban came into force.
