Red Bull fined for Verstappen blunder in second practice
Max Verstappen has incurred a fine for his Red Bull team after being caught speeding in the pit lane during second practice at the F1 Italian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen (NLD) Red Bull Racing RB19 leaves the pits. Formula 1…
The two-time world champion was pinged for going 4.8km/h over the 80km/h pit lane speed limit in FP2, resulting in Red Bull picking up a €500 fine.
Verstappen was left to rue traffic which ruined his sole soft tyre run and left him fifth-fastest, two places behind Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.
Meanwhile, Perez ended the session in the barriers following a spin at the famous Parabolica corner.
Verstappen is gunning for a record-breaking 10th consecutive victory this weekend, having equalled Sebastian Vettel's feat of nine successive wins last time out at Zandvoort.
