At the Monaco E-Prix, as at every race of the Formula E World Championship, it is the task of the race stewards of the FIA to check compliance with the Technical and Sporting Regulations. If they find an offence, it is their job to determine the penalty. As usual, you will find a list of all the weekend's decisions in this article.
At the Monaco E-Prix 2026, the presiding commissioner Mathieu Remmerie, the international commissioner Michael Schwägerl and the national commissioner Jean-Francois Calmes will take on this task. They will be supported by former racing driver Pedro Couceiro. The Portuguese can look back on a 20-year career as a professional racing driver and was active as a safety car driver in the World Endurance Championship WEC after his career ended.
Penalties during free practice on Saturday
DS Penske received a fine of 2,500 euros because Taylor Barnard was caught travelling at 75 km/h instead of the maximum permitted 50 km/h in the pit lane. Barnard also received a penalty point on his racing licence.
DS Penske received a further fine of 2,100 euros because Max Günther was also speeding in the pit lane. The FIA's measuring devices showed 71 km/h for the German. Günther also received a penalty point.
Penalties during and after qualifying on Saturday
Sebastien Buemi was moved back three places on the grid for impeding Max Günther during a fast lap in the group qualifying session. He was also given a penalty point.
DS Penske was fined 1,500 euros after one of the team's social media managers entered the track at Turn 1 before the first FP1 and walked across the track as far as the pit lane exit. As the track was already closed at that point and the individual, given his many years of experience in this role, must have known that he was not permitted to enter the circuit, his pass was also suspended for the remainder of the Monaco E-Prix.
Penalties during and after Saturday’s race
Norman Nato received a drive-through penalty because the tyre pressure on his Nissan was below the minimum pressure of 1.2 bar specified by supplier Hankook.
Nick Cassidy was handed a ten-second time penalty for causing the collision with Jake Dennis. He also received a penalty point on his racing licence.
Zane Maloney received a drive-through penalty for driving to the pit boost even though his battery charge was not within the prescribed range of 40 to 60 per cent.
Jean-Eric Vergne received a five-second time penalty for causing a collision with Nico Müller. Vergne also received a penalty point for this incident.
Edoardo Mortara also received a drive-through penalty as the tyre pressure on his Mahindra was below the minimum.
Dan Ticktum received a drive-through penalty after the race, which was converted into a 33-second time penalty. Ticktum had changed direction during the braking phase before the harbour chicane, thereby causing a collision with Antonio Felix da Costa. The Briton dropped from third to twelfth place. He was also given two penalty points on his racing licence.
A five-second time penalty was subsequently imposed on Max Günther for causing a collision with Nico Müller. He consequently dropped from eighth to eleventh place. The DS Penske driver was also given a penalty point for the incident.
Dan Ticktum was fined 1,000 euros for failing to attend the media pen after the race.

Nico Müller was subsequently handed a further five-second time penalty for a collision with Edoardo Mortara. He was also given an additional penalty point.
Cupra Kiro was fined 1,000 euros because Bianca Bustamante had not been correctly registered as part of the team's "operational staff" ahead of the Monaco E-Prix.
The pass of a person accompanying Bianca Bustamante has been revoked and the individual has been barred from the venue for the remainder of the Monaco E-Prix. According to the FIA, this person used Bianca Bustamante's pass to gain access to areas such as the pit lane, the starting grid and the podium, even though they were not authorised to do so. The official document does not specify the identity of the individual in question.

Max Günther was also handed a five-second time penalty for driving too fast during the full-course yellow. Unlike Ticktum, he had slowed down to 50 km/h within five seconds, but then accelerated back up to 55.7 km/h for four seconds. A penalty point was also issued in this case. This penalty was converted into a three-place grid penalty for his next race.
