‘My heart sank’ - Lewis Hamilton feared Kimi Raikkonen repeat after hitting mechanic in F1 Belgian GP

Lewis Hamilton struck a Ferrari mechanic with his front-right tyre while pulling away from his pit stop during the Belgian Grand Prix, after the crew member made a late attempt to adjust the front wing balance. The mechanic was knocked to the ground but was uninjured, and Hamilton briefly stopped before continuing. Ferrari was fined €30,000 (€10,000 suspended) for an 'inappropriately late instruction,' poor communication, and the mechanic failing to notice the green light; Hamilton admitted his heart sank fearing a repeat of the 2018 Bahrain GP incident where Kimi Raikkonen broke a mechanic's leg.
