TWO F1 stars facing huge FIA grid penalty at Monaco Grand Prix
Formula 1 stars Franco Colapinto and Carlos Sainz are under investigation by FIA race stewards at the Monaco Grand Prix for alleged red flag infringements. Colapinto’s incident occurred during the third practice session after a late red flag due to Lewis Hamilton’s crash, while Sainz’s alleged infringement was noted from Friday’s FP2 session. Both drivers face uncertainty regarding potential penalties, similar to Oliver Bearman who received a 10-place grid drop for a similar incident. The challenging Monaco circuit presents additional obstacles for any grid drop penalty due to its difficulty for overtaking. Colapinto, in his Monaco F1 debut, has faced struggles, including an incident with a Haas car during FP3, signaling difficulties in adapting. Despite Flavio Briatore’s simple rules for Colapinto, avoiding crashes and penalties remains crucial for him to score points in Monaco. Both drivers await the final decisions from FIA stewards, impacting their race outcomes significantly.
