Kimi Antonelli was handed a five-second penalty after the Barcelona Grand Prix for exceeding track limits four times. The Mercedes driver had already retired from the race due to an engine failure with three laps remaining.
Antonelli started third and overtook team-mate George Russell with five laps left. His race engineer had warned him about three prior track limits strikes. Stewards confirmed the penalty after reviewing video evidence post-race.
Lewis Hamilton won the race for Ferrari. Antonelli's retirement handed second place to Russell. The penalty had no effect on the final classification.
Antonelli still leads the drivers' championship by 41 points over Hamilton despite scoring no points. Mercedes principal Toto Wolff described the result as a "useless race" and highlighted ongoing reliability issues after two recent engine-related failures.
