Flurry of F1 stars hit by FIA deleted lap ruling at Monaco Grand Prix
Several F1 drivers had their lap times deleted during the Monaco Grand Prix after confirmed infringements by the FIA. Despite rule changes for the 2025 Monaco GP, the on-track spectacle failed to impress around Monte Carlo. George Russell faced controversy, opting for a penalty over giving back a position to Alex Albon for a corner cut. Alongside other drivers, Russell had laps deleted, including Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Charles Leclerc. While complaints emerged about the race and track limits, the FIA confirmed no further action against the drivers. The Monaco GP complaints continued post-race, with only podium finishers Norris, Leclerc, and Piastri showing content. Despite criticisms, Norris’ win closed the gap in the championship as attention turns to the upcoming Spanish GP.
