Alpine has been fined 100 euros after qualifying. Pierre Gasly committed a speeding offence in the pit lane and that has landed his team a penalty.

In the pit lane in Bahrain, Formula 1 drivers are allowed to drive a maximum of 80 kilometres per hour. Gasly drove 0.6 kilometres per hour too fast and the FIA is not turning a blind eye. Alpine is about to be billed a hundred euros.

Penalty points did not result from the incident (luckily) for Gasly. The Frenchman is close to a Grand Prix suspension.

Fine for Gasly
