Ferrari has revealed that Lewis Hamilton needed to visit the FIA medical team following the Singapore Grand Prix after feeling unwell.
Hamilton will therefore not attend his post-race media duties, having been given permission by the FIA to skip them.
The Ferrari driver endured a gruelling 62 laps at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, where an incorrect strategy call — on his part — left him battling rivals on far older tyres.
It left him powerless to prevent Kimi Antonelli, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri from steaming past as he plummeted from third to sixth in the closing stages.
Hamilton took responsibility for that error, and the rigours of the race meant he needed to be checked over; the second time in recent years the British driver has suffered at the hands of arguably F1's toughest test.
In 2024, then at Mercedes, both the seven-time F1 drivers' champion and team-mate George Russell felt unwell after the race in the Southeast Asian city-state.
Ferrari told media, including RacingNews365: "After the race, Lewis felt unwell and has been seen by the FIA medical team.
"He has been given permission by the FIA to not attend the post-race Media pen."
