Franco Colapinto risks major penalty after Lewis Hamilton red flag

Franco Colapinto is at risk of a 10-place grid penalty at the Monaco Grand Prix following a final practice red flag for Lewis Hamilton's crash. 

However, in good news for Colapinto, the stewards ultimately decided to take no further action, with their verdict available here.

Hamilton crashed at Massanet in the closing minutes of the session after cresting the hill, but found the slow Esteban Ocon and Kimi Antonelli in his path. 

The Ferrari driver snapped to the right to avoid ramming the pair, but crashed into the wall on the outside with a tank-slapper, hitting the right-hand side of the car.

Colapinto was noted for a red flag infringement under the red flag, with the Alpine driver being investigated by the stewards.

In Free Practice 2 on Friday, Oscar Piastri crashed at Turn 1, deploying a brief red flag before he got going again. 

Under this red flag, Oliver Bearman overtook Carlos Sainz's Williams approaching Rascasse, with the Williams on a slow lap.

The stewards rejected Bearman's claim that he felt it was safer to overtake Sainz under the red flag rather than jamming on the brakes, but this was rejected. He was handed a 10-place grid drop and penalty points on his licence.

Colapinto is being investigated for the same "red flag infringement."
