Webber fined €2,200 for pit lane speeding

Monaco Grand Prix winner Mark Webber has received a fine of €2,200 (£1,900) for speeding in the Monte-Carlo pit lane before the start of the race on Sunday.

Although Webber stormed to Formula 1 career victory number four later in the afternoon, FIA Race Director Charlie Whiting informed stewards of the pre-race incident, with the Australian having broken the pit lane speed limit shortly after 1:30pm – upon leaving the pits in order to begin his reconnaissance lap prior to forming up on the grid.

With the pit lane speed limit being 60km/h (37.2mph), the figure of €2,200 is generated as Webber's Red Bull was clocked at 70.9km/h (4.9mph) and each kilometer over the limit equates to €200.
