Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are already in trouble with the F1 stewards in Monaco – here’s why.
There has been no Formula 1 track action at the Monaco Grand Prix yet, but Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are already under scrutiny by the stewards for arriving late to the pre-event drivers’ press conference on Thursday.
The FIA’s pre-event drivers’ press conference is held every Thursday before every grand prix and features two groups of three drivers rotating over the season.
Norris and Leclerc were summoned to report to the Monaco stewards on Friday morning for an “alleged breach of Article B10.1.1.a of the FIA F1 Regulations,” related to the late attendance of the press conference.
Despite the late start caused by Norris and Leclerc, the fans need not worry about sporting penalties for the drivers.
The incident is not uncommon, as Lewis Hamilton faced a similar situation before the British Grand Prix in 2023 but was not penalized, with Mercedes receiving a reprimand for scheduling issues.
