How the Monaco podium was decided by less than 0.5kph

Speed = distance / time. This is the basic formula that decided the podium positions behind the rampaging Kimi Antonelli at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Despite the ferocious pace set by the fastest cars around motorsport’s most famous circuit, the decisive number was a practically pedestrian 60kph — the speed limit in the narrow Monte Carlo pit lane.

Pit lane speeding infringements are relatively rare in Formula 1, with just five handed out over the first five rounds of the season, only three of which were doled out in races.
