Montoya's sister fined for breach of pit lane regulations at Spanish GP

Summary

During the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, the sister of PREMA Racing's Formula 2 driver Sebastian Montoya was fined €500 ($577) after being spotted in the pit lane wearing shorts. This violation occurred on Friday following the F2 qualifying session, as the FIA requires individuals in the pit lane to wear long trousers for safety. The team's representative clarified that she was a guest, not a team member, but the stewards still imposed the fine for the breach of Article 22.15 of the FIA Formula 2 Sporting Regulations. Teams have the option to appeal the decision within a specified timeframe.
