Five drivers penalized for pit-lane speeding at Monaco Grand Prix
Summary

During the Monaco Grand Prix, five drivers received penalties for speeding in the pit lane, exceeding the 60km/h limit by just 0.1km/h. The culprits include Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly, and Franco Colapinto. The unusual number of infractions has raised questions about the pit lane layout and timing measurement. Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli secured his fifth consecutive win, while Hamilton's second-place finish has positioned him second in the drivers’ championship following Charles Leclerc's early crash. Following the race, Alpine requested a right of review regarding the penalties issued to Gasly and other drivers, indicating a potential appeal process ahead.
