Monaco GP hit by wave of pit‑lane speeding penalties

sportsJun 7, 202629342

At the Monaco Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were each handed five-second time penalties for speeding in the pit lane during mid-race stops. FIA stewards issued the penalties around laps 33 to 37 as teams cycled through pit stops; five-second penalties are added to race time and can change finishing positions. Earlier in the weekend a support staff member ran across the pit-lane entrance during the F2 feature race just as three cars entered, creating a dangerous near-miss in Monaco's tight pit complex. At Monaco, where overtaking is rare, pit-lane penalties and safety breaches frequently decide podium order and championship points.

If the stewards can't take the pit lane penalties back, they can just give everybody one. Problem solved.

are we sure the pit lane sensor is just not in need of being unplugged and plugged back in?

Nearly a massive shunt for Hamilton and a cameraman in the pit lane. "Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!" he pleads on his scooter, trying to get back to his car. Chaos at Monaco. #F1 #MonacoGP

lance stroll sees all your pit lane speeding infractions and raises to somehow getting dinged for track limits at a track where almost every "track limit" is the goddamn wall
