Haas rookie Oliver Bearman’s first Monaco Grand Prix as a Formula 1 driver has become much tougher for him. The driver was given a massive ten-place grid penalty following an incident that occurred during Friday’s second practice session on the streets of Monte Carlo.

Last year’s procession around the principality – where the order of the top-10 did not alter once – was the final straw. In an era where the show is king for F1 ’s owners Liberty Media, something had to change at the sport’s most famous race.

Sunday's eighth round is at Circuit de Monaco, with Oscar Piastri and McLaren teammate Lando Norris leading odds ahead of Max Verstappen.
