Lewis Hamilton will be investigated following the conclusion of second practice ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. 

The seven-time world champion was driving slowly on the racing-line through turns 17 and 18 of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, ahead of a fast-approaching Alex Albon. 

Albon was on a push lap when he suddenly had to take avoiding action to miss colliding with the slow-moving Ferrari driver. 

The Williams driver quickly complained that Hamilton's driving was "dangerous", with the stewards to determine after the session if Albon was impeded by the 40-year-old. 

Following the investigation, the stewards decided to take no further action. Read the full verdict here.
