FIA say Monaco tactics ‘legitimate’ as McLaren escape

LEWIS HAMILTON and McLaren have escaped sanction for their tactics at the Monaco Grand Prix following an FIA investigation.

The sport’s governing body were prompted to look into last weekend’s race when Hamilton finished second behind team-mate Fernando Alonso.

However, the FIA are satisfied the conduct of both drivers and the team did not breach the rule against the use of team orders to interfere with the results of the race.
