FIA race stewards at the Spanish Grand Prix have handed Stoffel Vandoorne a three-place grid penalty for Monaco after the McLaren driver collided with Felipe Massa’s Williams during the race.
Vandoorne was running in 16th when he turned in on fast-approaching Massa at Turn 1 on the 34th lap. Massa was able to continue and finished 13th, but branded Vandoorne, who ended up in the gravel with broken suspension, “crazy” for not giving him sufficient room.
While Vandoorne was punished, Kevin Magnussen and Daniil Kvyat escaped sanction for their late-race collision on lap 62.
Toro Rosso driver Kvyat was attempting to pass Magnussen, in the Haas, for ninth place when they made contact, resulting in a puncture for the Dane. However, after reviewing video footage and speaking to both drivers, the stewards deemed it a racing incident.
