Ferrari fined for Leclerc's unsafe release

NEWS STORY
03/10/2025

Ferrari has been fined €10,000 following the incident in the pitlane involving Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris.

The stewards heard from the Monegasque, team representatives and reviewed video and in-car video evidence.

Following the second red flag period, several cars exited their garages. Leclerc was initially instructed by a team member to leave his pit box. At that moment however, it was overlooked that Norris was already passing in the fast lane, approaching the Ferrari pit box and directly into the path of Leclerc.

The team member, who was responsible for the safe conduct of releasing Leclerc misjudged the situation and gave unclear instructions to the driver, who could not see Norris' car.

As a result, both cars collided in the fast lane.

Having noted precedents for this type of breach, the stewards were of the view that the breach warranted a more severe penalty than previously applied hence the €10,000 penalty was imposed.
