An official FIA announcement has confirmed that Lewis Hamilton has been handed a penalty at the Monaco Grand Prix following an incident with long-term rival Max Verstappen.
Both Hamilton and his arch nemesis Verstappen were summoned to see the stewards following qualifying for the iconic race, after Hamilton appeared to block the path of the Dutchman.
Hamilton was left angered with his race engineer Riccardo Adami, who appeared to tell the Brit that Verstappen was just on a slow lap, and Verstappen took to his team radio to lament the seven-time champion’s actions.
