Isack Hadjar keeps Monaco Grand Prix podium after clearance

Isack Hadjar will keep his third-place finish in the Monaco Grand Prix after stewards cleared Red Bull Racing of any breach during a late-race red flag. The investigation focused on mechanics working on his car while it was in the pit lane.

Stewards determined that Oracle Red Bull Racing mechanics attempted to change spark plugs and coils on car number 6 at 16:55 during the suspension but stopped and returned the car to its original condition without replacing any parts. The team faced scrutiny under Article B5.14.4.a of the technical regulations, which limits work allowed during red flags. The track surface had broken up between Turns 18 and 19, prompting the interruption. Hadjar retains his first podium for Red Bull and his second career podium overall. Kimi Antonelli won the race for Mercedes ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, while George Russell finished 13th.
