Hisp🍷ania Racing has been hit with a fine for the unsafe pit release in the Italian Grand Prix which left a team member needing medical treatment.

Sakon Yamamoto was released from his stop while a member of the team was still working on his car, with the Japanese driver striking the mechanic with the right rear of ♔his car as he pulled away.

The mechanic was taken to the medical centre following the race and the team was then hit with a fine of $20,000 by the FIA 𓃲for releasing Yamamoto when it wasn't safe to do so.

Yamamoto eventually finished the race in 19th place🌳 although team-mate Bruno Senna was an early retirement with hydraulic failure.

"There was an incident with a member of our team during Sakon Yamamoto's pit stop," team boss Colin Kolles said. "First aid was immediately on the spot and he was taken to hospital for further check-up. He remained conscious and was talking to the doctor. We wish that hꦏe will r🌠ecover quickly.

"In the race, Bruno 💫Senna had to stop the car on track due to a hydraulic failure. Sakon Yamamoto instead did a good race performance and finished 19th. We could carry on as in Spa and the gap to the team ahead was quite smal🎶l compared to earlier races."
