This corresponds to a violation of Article 34.7 of the FIA-F1 Sporting Regulations, which stipulates speed limits in the pit lane. As is customary, after hearing the parties involved and reviewing video and telemetry, the stewards decided to fine his club Scuderia AlphaTauri €1,000. This is the full fine for violating the speed limit set by the rules.

However, the four-member ground jury also took the unusual step of issuing a personal warning to Yuki Tsunoda.

Regarding the incident, the stewards said, “The car collided with the barrier at Turn 11 and was about to enter the pits. Despite the extent of the damage to the car being unknown, it is unlikely that it will exceed 16km/h in the pitlane. “I’m concerned about the potential danger,” he said.

“The driver admitted not to activate the pit speed limiter and understood the danger this situation could pose. The stewards issued a fine and issued a warning.”

Yuki Tsunoda received a 10 grid demotion penalty at last year’s F1 Italian Grand Prix. This is due to a total of 5 reprimands, but unlike reprimands, there is no concept of cumulative warnings, and penalties are not imposed.

George Russell (Mercedes) also violated the pitlane speed limit in FP2 and the team was fined €100, but this was just 0.2km overspeeding.
