Mercedes received a small fine after George Russell sped in the pit lane during the first free practice session of the Monaco Grand Prix.

The German team will have to pay €100 after Russell exceeded the limit by just 0.3 km/h in the Monte Carlo pit lane. The limit is set at 60 km/h this weekend in the Principality.

In the first free practice session, Russell set only the fifth quickest time, and finished around a second behind Charles Leclerc.

Four drivers summoned to the stewards

Two impeding incidents are also being investigated after the first free practice session in Monte Carlo. Leclerc allegedly impeded Liam Lawson, while the New Zealander's teammate, Arvid Lindblad, is also under investigation for allegedly impeding Oscar Piastri.
