McLaren fined €5,000 after another botched F1 pit stop

SHANGHAI, China -- In the latest in a number of botched tyre changes in recent race weekends, McLaren has been fined €5,000 for releasing Stoffel Vandoorne's car in an unsafe condition following a practice pit stop in China.

Both Haas cars retired from the Australian Grand Prix after wheelnuts were cross-threaded during pit stops and Ferrari made a similar mistake during practice for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
