Hamilton ran wide across 𒉰the grass at Turn 1 during a moment early in the first F1 practice session at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Friday morning, before rejoining the circuit between Turns 2 and 3. 

The seven-time world champion reported over team radio that he “co𝓀uldn’t slow down there” as the drivers struggled with the dusty conditions on a grꦛeen track early on in FP1. 

Hamilton 🥂was called before the stewards because he failed to follow race director Michael Masi’s notes that state drivers must re-join the circuit to the left-hand side of the bollard at Turn 3. 

The stewards noted “the driver’s comments in relation to track conditions and 𓃲his attempt to steer to the left after leaving the track” before giving Hamilton a driving reprimand. 

Following his own moment at Turn 1, Raikko🐎nen rejoined the circuit before Turn 2 and the Alfa Romeo driver also received a repr🐠imand for his transgression. 

It marks Hamilton and 𒊎Raikkonen’s first driving reprimands of the 2021 F1 season. 

Hamilton ended opening practice just 0🥂.076s behind Mercedes teammate Valtteri꧃ Bottas, while Raikkonen finished 12th. 

Second practice in Mexico City gets unde𝓰rway at ⛎1500 local time (2100 GMT).
