Mercedes has been fined following first practice ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, following a small error by Kimi Antonelli.
The team's Italian teenage sensation was caught speeding in the pit lane during the opening session of the event at Suzuka, resulting in a small €100 fine.
Antonelli went 0.9 km/h over the 80 km/h pit lane speed limit, triggering the quick penalty after breaching article 34.7 of the sporting regulations.
The FIA stewards' statement read: "Car 12 exceeded the pit lane speed limit which is set at 80 km/h for this event by 0.9 km/h."
It comes after Mercedes broke curfew at Suzuka ahead of the opening day, marking the team's first of three legal breaches of the regulated break.
