Andrea Kimi Antonelli has already had to visit the stewards at the Japanese Grand Prix after just one session, after he was found to have sped in the pitlane.
The 18-year-old finished P9 in free practice one around the Suzuka circuit, a little way off his teammate George Russell in P2, but made a solid start to his weekend.
However, a little lapse in concentration when entering the pit lane during the hour-long session meant he had to go and visit the stewards after FP1.

The young Italian was found to have gone 0.9KPH faster than the 80KPH speed limit that they have for the pitlane in Suzuka, resulting in a fine.
That fine goes to Mercedes, but a 100 euro penalty, which was given for the offence, will not worry the German team at all.
