Carlos Sainz has been on the receiving end of multiple reprimands this season, the latest coming during Saturday’s practice ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.
As the Ferrari driver was preparing for his lap, Lance Stroll was finishing his and was held up by Sainz. FIA stewards criticized Ferrari, which was ultimately handed a €25,000 fine for giving the Spaniard “a series of grossly incorrect” messages over the team radio concerning the gaps between the cars coming from behind.
“It is unclear to the stewards why such misleading information was given to the driver, who was under the impression that there was no car immediately behind him,” the stewards said, per The Race.
