The FIA has made it clear that it intends to crack down hard on what it regards as being dangerous driving. Montoya was sent to the back of the grid in Monaco after the stewards decided that he had 'brake tested' Ralf Schumacher (slowing unexpectedly in front of him) during practice - causing an accident between Ralf, Coulthard and Villeneuve. Montoya strenuously denied responsibility for the crash, but both he and the McLaren team knew that any further transgressions would be dealt with severely.
It wasn’t to be. After Jenson Button hit the wall on lap 46 the safety car was deployed to protect the recovery. Montoya went past the entrance to the pit lane without stopping - almost everybody else, including, crucially, Raikkonen, came in for what was effectively a 'free' pitstop. Montoya was apparently told to pit over the radio, but reportedly misheard the instruction.
He opted to stop on the following lap - but then, bizarrely, drove straight past the red light at the end of the pitlane which was protecting the safety car and the pack as they went past. He then entered a tussle with David Coulthard as he tried to force his way in front of the Red Bull Racing car to join the train behind Raikkonen.
As the Safety Car was deployed, Montoya and McLaren seemed to suffer a bit of a communications problem resulting in him not pitting for his second stop. Kimi Raikkonen pitted, thereby assuming the lead as Montoya peeled off to the pits next time around. Perhaps angry with himself or the team for the failure to pit the lap before, Montoya blasted out of the pits as the safety car went by.
It was to no avail, as although he exited the pits behind Raikkonen, he had in fact gone through the red light at the end of the pit lane.

Bolj revne ekipe pa si tega niso mogle privoščiti.
Jaz mislim da lani ni zmagoval Šumi, ampak taktika.
