He exceeded the 80km/h speed limit by 0.1 km/h . FIA fines became a talking point earlier this month in Texas when the International Sporting Code was adjusted, allowing stewards to increase the maximum fine they dish out to a driver.

Lewis Hamilton was hit with the same €100 fine for also speeding in the pitlane earlier this season in Austria.World Superbikes
