Gasly, Giovinazzi given grid penalties for Monaco Grand Prix

Pierre Gasly and Antonio Giovinazzi will both drop three places down the grid at the Monaco Grand Prix after blocking other drivers in qualifying.

Gasly prompted a colourful radio rant from fellow Frenchman Romain Grosjean after he impeded the Haas driver in Q2, the second qualifying session, preventing him from setting a time good enough to progress to the top ten shootout in the process. Gasly had been moving slowly on a preparation lap when Grosjean approached his car at Turn 4.

Grosjean said the fault was probably Red Bull's, rather than Gasly's, for not communicating properly with its driver.
