Lewis Hamilton doesn't feel he was 'singled out' by the FIA over his track-crossing incident in the Qatar Grand Prix due to his high profile in Formula 1.
The seven-time F1 world champion picked up his first reprimand of the season and was fined €50,000 - €25,000 of which was suspended for the remainder of the season - for crossing the live circuit on his way back to the pits, having crashed out at the first corner after a clash with Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
'I think what they mean is that they're just gonna look into how they can tackle those sorts of things moving forwards to make sure that doesn't happen. 'I think there was a karting incident recently where a kid was hit, so we really need to make sure that we're continuously focusing on safety. 'I think that's really at the core at the root of it, but I just think they probably need to speak to their PR agent to do a better job.
