The full list of race penalties issued during chaotic Monaco GP

A total of 11 penalties were handed out during the Monaco Grand Prix, many of them for pit lane speeding offences, although several other incidents also caught the attention of the stewards. In a number of cases, drivers were penalised more than once, significantly impacting their final results.

One of the biggest losers was undoubtedly George Russell. The Mercedes driver was initially handed a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane before receiving a drive-through penalty for failing to correctly serve the sanction. The setback dropped him out of the points and dealt a major blow to his championship ambitions.

Pierre Gasly also saw his race unravel after crossing the line on the podium. The Frenchman was hit with two separate five-second penalties for pit lane speeding, costing him what would have been his first podium finish of the season. Sergio Perez was another driver penalised twice, first receiving a drive-through for a false start before later being handed a 10-second penalty for being out of position at the restart following the red flag. The penalties ultimately denied the Mexican what would have been Cadillac's first points in Formula 1.

Among the other pit lane speeding offences were penalties for Lewis Hamilton, Franco Colapinto and Oscar Piastri. Lance Stroll was handed a five-second penalty for repeatedly exceeding track limits, while the final sanction of the race went to Nico Hulkenberg, who received a 10-second penalty for causing a collision with Carlos Sainz after the red flag period.

Russell cut a frustrated figure after the Monaco Grand Prix, revealing that a software malfunction was responsible for the pit lane speeding infringement that triggered a chain of events which ultimately left him empty-handed for the second consecutive race weekend.

According to the Mercedes driver, the team informed him that the initial pit lane speeding offence was not caused by any mistake on his part but rather by a technical issue affecting the system. While the resulting five-second penalty was manageable on its own, the situation escalated when Mercedes failed to correctly serve the sanction during a later pit stop, leading to a drive-through penalty that effectively ended his chances of a strong result.

Russell explained that confusion during the race played a major role in the error. As cars were directed into the pit lane, communication between the driver and the team became increasingly hectic. He was trying to confirm details regarding his tyre stop while events unfolded rapidly around him, and the penalty procedure was ultimately not carried out correctly.

The Briton also expressed frustration at the severity of the outcome, arguing that the original software issue provided only a negligible advantage in the pit lane. Despite that, the subsequent penalties caused him to tumble down the order, costing him 13 positions and leaving him to reflect on what he described as another hugely damaging weekend in the championship fight.
