Lance Stroll: Monaco Penalty

Stroll has been given a one-place grid penalty following his collision with Charles Leclerc during Friday's first practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix, Formula1.com reports.

Analysis:

The incident happened early in FP1 at Monaco. Stroll came back into the racing line at a slow speed and obstructed Leclerc heading into the hairpin. The Ferrari star had nowhere to go and made heavy contact with the rear of Stroll's Aston Martin. Leclerc would replace front wings and continue on with the practice but Stroll would be parked with broken rear suspension and gearbox trouble. The stewards deemed Stroll fully responsible for the incident and have penalized him one spot on the starting grid for Sunday's race.
