Lance Stroll was penalised last weekend at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for speeding in the pit lane during FP3.

The Aston Martin driver was 0.1km/h over the speed limit of 80km/h, a minor infringement that saw the team penalised with a €100 fine.

Which driver has broken the rules again?

At the Chinese Grand Prix, Stroll hit the rear of Daniel Ricciardo’s RB following a safety car restart, sending the Australian into the air and later forcing him to retire from the race.

The incident earnt Stroll a 10-second penalty but he refused to take accountability for the incident after the race, prompting an X-rated rant from Ricciardo.

Now at the Monaco Grand Prix the Canadian has found himself on the receiving end of yet another penalty.
