FIA issue Monaco Grand Prix penalty verdict after Charles Leclerc incident
The FIA announced a penalty verdict for the collision between Charles Leclerc and Lance Stroll at the Monaco Grand Prix. All 20 drivers were jostling for space on the track during FP1, with blue flags deployed to warn slow cars about faster ones. Stroll failed to hear the message of Leclerc approaching, resulting in a collision at the hairpin. Stroll received a one-place grid drop and a penalty point for breaching the International Sporting Code. The stewards deemed Stroll entirely at fault due to miscommunication over team radio. Leclerc lost part of his front wing in the incident but managed to set the fastest time in the following sessions. Stroll’s car sustained significant damage, requiring repairs before the next practice session.
