Red Bull has been fined €500 after Max Verstappen was caught speeding in the Italian Grand Prix pitlane during second practice. The World Champion was clocked in at 84.8kph (52.6mph) with a limit of 80kph (49.7mph) in force for the weekend at Monza. As a result, Red Bull picked up the fine that was handed out by the stewards. It was not a smooth session for Verstappen who only managed fifth fastest, having got a lot of traffic on his fastest lap. He pushed his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase for another attempt, but could not improve - as teammate Sergio Perez was third quickest, but caused a late red flag after spinning off and beaching the RB19 at the Parabolica. Carlos Sainz of Ferrari topped the session.
