Isack Hadjar has retained his P3 finish at the Monaco Grand Prix after stewards concluded that no rule breach occurred during the race’s red‑flag period. The French driver’s podium was briefly in doubt when a Technical Delegate’s Report alleged that Red Bull mechanics had worked on his car, car number 6, in violation of Article B5.14.4.a.
The Monaco weekend was turbulent for Red Bull: Max Verstappen retired on lap 1, and Hadjar reported “massive drivability issues” early on. He crossed the line in fourth place, then moved up to third after Alpine’s Pierre Gasly received two five‑second penalties for a pit‑lane speed infringement. The investigation focused on an attempted spark‑plug/coil change that was aborted, leaving the car in the same condition it entered the pits, so officials took no further action.
Hadjar praised the effort, noting limited power but an ability to stay within five seconds of his rivals. The result marks his first podium as a Red Bull driver and solidifies his standing heading into the next race.
