McLaren breaks its first curfew of the season in Monaco
After the first day of the Monaco Grand Prix, some McLaren team personnel were still inside the circuit premises during the curfew period.
The curfew period applies to all Formula 1 teams. During a specified period, team personnel are prohibited from working on the race cars and even being inside the circuit, including the paddock. After Friday’s session, this prohibition applies for twelve hours and thirty minutes.
In the case of the Monaco Grand Prix, the curfew started on Friday evening at 9pm and ended at 9:30am on Saturday morning, three hours before the start of the third free practice session. For McLaren, who violated the curfew last night, no sanctions will be applied since it’s the first time the Woking team finds itself in this situation.
For the entire 2023 season, each team will be allowed to break this famous curfew twice.
