Oliver Bearman will attend the FIA stewards following the Monaco Grand Prix following an incident pre-race.
The Haas driver was noted and then placed under investigation for being released from the pit-lane for the reconnaissance laps ot the grid in an "unsafe condition."
This usually means some equipment has been left attached to the car as it leaves the garage, with leaf blowers understood to have been left in the sidepods.
In such conditions, the FIA stewards often hand out a fine to the team as opposed to a sporting penalty for the driver.
Bearman will start the race from 20th and last, following a 10-place grid penalty for overtaking Carlos Sainz under the red flags in Free Practice 2.
Bearman overtook Sainz on the approach to Rascasse, believing it was safer to pass the slow Williams as opposed to slamming on the brakes immediately.
Both Sainz and Franco Colapinto escaped punishment for a similar offence in FP2 and FP3, respectively after they did jam on the brakes, but the forward momentum of their cars took them past ones on slow laps.
