Hamilton receives Monaco GP grid penalty for impeding Verstappen

Lewis Hamilton will start the Monaco Grand Prix from seventh after receiving a three-place grid penalty for impeding Max Verstappen during qualifying.

Hamilton was adjudged to have impeded Verstappen in Q1 at Massenet after being provided with incorrect information by his Ferrari race engineer.

The seven-time world champion was told that Verstappen, behind him on track in the first sector, was on a slow lap and therefore began to accelerate back towards the racing line as the Red Bull approached.
