is being investigated by the stewards following an incident during FP2 at the . The Ferrari star was deemed to have blocked Alex Albon during a practice lap in Jeddah.
Whilst weaving his way around the sharp turns of the Saudi track, the Williams driver was forced to take evasive action at Turn 17 to avoid Hamilton, who was accused of impeding him.
Speaking to Sky Sports about the incident, Williams team principal James Vowles said: "It almost doesn't look as severe on entry. But certain portions of the track, it's mainly between Turns 4-5, all the way through to Turn 8, where you're blind and fully loaded on the car, and there's not a lot you can do any more as a driver. You can lift off, but you certainly can't brake.
"I'm pretty sure there'll be a sensible review from the stewards, where they'll know it's not intentional from Ferrari, but need to be stronger on it to avoid an accident."

There was plenty of drama on Friday evening elsewhere, with Gabriel Bortoleto's car having its chassis changed due to an oil leak. Lance Stroll dramatically also spun out at Turn 1 in early in the session. The Aston Martin star managed to direct his car off the track and away from the barriers.
A red flag then emerged after Yuki Tsunoda got stuck in the wall after crashing into it at the final corner. He quickly confirmed on the radio that he was 'okay' before making his way out of the car.
The Japanese driver had previously enjoyed a strong session and appeared to be more at home than ever in his new car, but a lapse in judgement saw the second practice session halted, with action resuming with just over a minute left on the clock. There were plenty of other near-misses throughout FP2 as well, with Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli both reporting on the radio that they had made touches with the wall.
