Ollie Bearman presented a Monaco GP grid penalty to 10 places after violation of the red flag in practice

“Long before exceeding, the session had been reported red,” read the stewards’ decision document. “The team informed the driver quite late, just before exceeding. However, it clearly emerges from the video sequences that there was a light panel directly in front of the driver who showed the red flag; And the dashboard also indicates the red flag long before the overtaking.
