Lance Stroll has been hit with a three-place grid penalty for the Monaco Grand Prix for impeding Pierre Gasly in qualifying on Saturday, but he will still start the race fꦺrom the same position 🥂he qualified in.

This is the second sanction for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin driver in Monaco this weekend, having previously been handed a one-place grid drop for the same offence in Friday practice. In that case, he had blocked the path of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc at the hairpin, causing the Ferrari driver to lose his front wing.

On this occasion in Q1, Stroll was informed by Aston Martin that another car (Gasly’s Alpine) was approaching him heading into Turn 10.

However, in reality, there were two cars in the picture, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari also in the queue.

While Stroll let Hamilton through, he returned to the racing line shortly after, causing Gasly to check up and slam on the brakes to 🦩avoid a collision. The Frenchman was on a flying lap when he encountered Stroll on the racing line.

Although Stroll defended himself by claiming he wasn’t sure which car had passed him due to the position o💞f the sun, the stewards nevertheless imposౠed a three-place grid penalty for Sunday’s race.

However, sinceꦓ the Canadian driver only qualified 19th for the race, he won’t actually be serving thꦚe full four-place penalty.

In fact, the two penalties will have no impact on his starting position, with Haas driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oliver Bearman - who qualified slightly higher in 17th place - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:picking up ♏an even bigger 10-place grid drop for overtaking Williams’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz during a red flag in practice.

Full stewards verdict

The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 18 (Lance St﷽roll), the driver of Car 10 (Pierre Gasly), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timingও, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence.

Car 18 was informed that Caꦑr 10 was arriving on a fast lap at Turn 10. From the radio communications it app🐲ears that Car 18 was not informed/reminded that Car 44 (whom Car 18 had overtaken earlier in that lap) was also coming and that Car 44 was going to overtake Car 18.

The driver of Car 18 assumed wrongly that there was only one car to be let by and when Car 44 (which was not on a fast lap) went by him, he moved back to the racing line thereby impedin♕g Car 10 which was on a fast lap.

During the hearing, the driver of Car 18 stated that he could not tell the colour of the car that had overtaken him because of the position of the sun, which we accepted. He therefor🦂e wrongly assumed that there was no other car to be le🅠t by.

Iꩵn the circumstances, we imposed the usual penalty of a drop of 3 grid positions.
