The FIA have confirmed that Mercedes F1 star Kimi Antonelli was one of the drivers to be hit by a deleted lap verdict following the Italian Grand Prix.

Antonelli, who finished ninth with a five-second time penalty given to him for 'driving erratically', actually had three lap times deleted throughout the 53-lap race, which was won by Red Bull star Max Verstappen.

Laps are deleted by FIA race stewards if a driver exceeds track limits that are set out before the start of the race weekend by the race director, and can have a dramatic impact during qualifying, as well as potentially leading to a penalty in the race if a driver exceeds track limits on four occasions.

Two of Antonelli's infringements happened at turn five on the famous Monza circuit, with the other one occurring at turn two. The 19-year-old received a final warning black-and-white flag in the race, and was just one track limit infringement away from another penalty.

Antonelli was one of 13 drivers to have received at least one deleted lap during the course of the Italian GP, including team-mate George Russell and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

None of the 13 drivers were handed any kind of sporting penalty for the deleted laps, and the final classification confirmed by the FIA after the race means the finishing order still stands.
