Controversy in Monaco: Hamilton penalized for impeding Verstappen in F1 grid drop

Lewis Hamilton received a three-place grid drop for impeding Max Verstappen during Monaco Grand Prix qualifying. Verstappen had to back out of his lap due to Hamilton’s slow-moving Ferrari on the track, leading to a penalty by the FIA race stewards. The stewards found that Hamilton was not informed accurately by his team, resulting in the impeding incident. Both drivers understood the situation after the qualifying session, with Verstappen acknowledging the team’s mistake. This penalty promotes Verstappen to fourth and reshuffles the grid for the challenging Monaco Grand Prix, where overtaking is difficult.
