Gasly reawarded podium, Alpine appeal succeedsPierre Gasly's podium finish at the Monaco Grand Prix has been reinstated following a successful appeal by Alpine. Initially finishing third, Gasly was penalized for exceeding the pit-lane speed limit, which dropped him to seventh. However, new evidence presented during the appeal revealed that the official measurement used to assess his speed was incorrect, leading the FIA to overturn the penalties.
As a result of the appeal, Gasly moves back to third place, while Isack Hadjar drops to fourth. The appeal process highlighted discrepancies in the pit-lane measurement system, which Mercedes had previously raised concerns about. Alpine expressed appreciation for the FIA's transparency throughout the review process, while Mercedes voiced their frustration over the outcome.

'An incredibly difficult pill to swallow': Monaco's impact on Russell title hopesGeorge Russell faced significant challenges during the Monaco Grand Prix, finishing in 12th place after starting sixth. His performance reflects a broader struggle this season, as he now sits 68 points behind teammate Kimi Antonelli, who has won five consecutive races. Russell's race was marred by a penalty for speeding in the pit lane, which he attributed to a software issue rather than a driving error. Despite these setbacks, he remains in contention with 16 races left in the season.
Russell's frustrations stem from a series of unfortunate events, including a retirement while leading in Canada and difficulties in overtaking during the Monaco race. He acknowledged that many factors affecting his performance were beyond his control, making it a challenging season. As he looks to bounce back, the upcoming races will be crucial for his championship hopes.Tue 9 Jun · 21:42 UTC
Hamilton full of praise for Monaco winner Antonell...Kimi Antonelli achieved his fifth consecutive victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, solidifying his lead in the drivers' championship with a 66-point margin over Lewis Hamilton. Antonelli's impressive streak began with his first win in China earlier this year, and he has now set a record as the youngest driver to win in Monaco, surpassing Hamilton's previous record from 2006.
Lewis Hamilton praised Antonelli's performance and the Mercedes team, acknowledging the challenges they faced during the race, including two safety car restarts. Despite his significant lead in the championship, Antonelli remains focused on maintaining his performance and emphasized that the season is still ongoing, indicating that he will continue to strive for success.Tue 9 Jun · 21:42 UTC
Charles Leclerc and Ferrari play down Monaco chanc...Charles Leclerc and Ferrari are preparing for a competitive qualifying session at the Monaco Grand Prix, with Leclerc noting that he expects a close battle for pole position. Despite Ferrari's strong start in practice, with Leclerc topping the first session and Hamilton setting the fastest overall time, both Leclerc and team principal Fred Vasseur have played down expectations, emphasizing the challenges of track evolution and grip changes leading up to the race.
Leclerc highlighted concerns about braking issues during practice and acknowledged the competitiveness of Red Bull and Mercedes. George Russell, who finished fourth in practice, commented on Ferrari's historical strengths on street circuits, suggesting that their performance is influenced by the car's inherent design. Overall, the team is focused on maintaining performance through the qualifying rounds and into the race.Sun 7 Jun · 10:28 UTC

Will 2026's 'yo-yo racing' mean overtaking in Monaco?The Monaco Grand Prix is set to take place from June 5-7, 2026, with drivers expressing optimism about the potential for overtaking due to new car features. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc highlighted the importance of car performance on this narrow circuit, where overtaking has historically been challenging. The 2026 cars are designed to be lighter and incorporate a new 'overtake' mode that may influence racing dynamics, although Monaco's unique characteristics could limit its effectiveness.
The race weekend is anticipated to be different from previous years, with drivers expecting to operate at full power during qualifying. The changes in car design and energy management could lead to a more competitive environment, but the inherent difficulties of overtaking in Monaco remain a concern. As teams prepare for the event, the focus will be on how these new elements will play out on the track.

Every position taken on track, from the timing feed. Pit stops and lapped traffic are excluded, and a place that changes hands more than once — a DRS train, say — counts each time. That makes this a larger number than a broadcast overtake count, which measures something narrower.
Stop is the car stationary in its box — the figure the sport quotes — and is recorded only from 2024, incompletely. Pit lane is entry to exit, runs from 2011, and depends on the circuit as much as the crew.

“Hello, it was a tough afternoon to walk away with V8, it's a good result, well done to you, I know it's tough out there with all the battery issues and the car, I'll look into that, but well done, V8's really good points, we'll keep moving forward. Yeah, thanks James. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how much of it's pace I'm losing, it's very nice of you. Yeah, well done. Sir, have a better weekend, sir. Thanks everyone, thanks for all the hard work.”
“Nice job, we definitely deserve this one. Yeah, good job guys, good job. Hats off to the strategists today. That was quite impressive, thank you. Shout out to Hazard and H. Yes. Okay, S1, we're P9 actually, because Nico got a 10 second penalty. Copy that, awesome, awesome. Was Hadjar third? Yes, yes he is actually. Yeah, super happy for him. That's nice. I'm very happy for us too. So P1, wait a few seconds and go to P0. Thank you for this weekend guys. Thank you man.”
About Isack Hadjar, Nico Hülkenberg
“Good afternoon mate, that was good, good, good progress from a 3-7 start. Yep, yeah, well done. Well, uh, yeah. Definitely did make up those three spots on pace, but, uh, we stuck in it one minute too, and, well done. Yeah, I heard what you said, we will be honoured if you do have it in the account for the plane, I think. Just to say again, good, good job mate. I know we did lack pace, but, uh, we kept it clean. We stayed out of trouble most of it. And, uh, it's a good result for the way we rode this weekend.”
“T6, Harvey. Well done. We have to go over to your T6. What a day. Well, congratulations everyone. Unbelievable result. Amazing work. Yeah, thank you to everyone. Thank you to everyone on the track and fans for taking it as well. Amazing result from the team. Congratulations. Harvey, it's Alan. Well done, mate. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your team play. It paid off. Brilliant, brilliant stuff. Yeah, congratulations, guys. Thanks, Alan. It was a real team effort today. We got some luck, but amazing execution from everyone. So, thank you. Well done. Well done. Everyone is beaming big time here, Harvey. Very good effort.”
“So, really grateful for all the hard work and let's continue to push. Thank you. Grazie a tutti. Grazie a te, Luis. For today, we can be happy.”
“And delay turning 5 and 6. Thank you, sir.”
“FLIGHT ATTENDANT. I'm sorry, I don't have enough power. ATC. Yep, keep pushing, keep pushing, you're at low power. It's coming back.”
“The FIA have said it's unlikely to scrape to the standard restock, there'll be some laps behind the safety car. They've said they'll take a very dim view of people leaving more than 10 car lengths.”
“Hadjars, 10 car left. Way more than 10 car left. Copy.”
“Honestly, I'm not going to take the f***ing plane. Give me a f***ing break!”
“And have I served my penalty or not? I spent about 10 seconds in the pit lane. Well, this is the Hadjar. What should we talk about about? Yeah, I just need to know if I'm in a 5 second penalty and I'm still behind Hadjar or not. George, George, I'll give you the messages as the messages come through, OK? Yeah, alright, thank you.”
About Isack Hadjar
“What do I do? I was too late. They're gonna bleed, man.”
“OK Kimi, fastest lap, we don't need them.”
“And there's something weird with the engine up the hill. Let's have a look.”
“Now, Kimi, if we were to stop again under safety car, we have plenty of margin. You just have to be really careful on the entry and exit. What you did last time was perfectly fine. Yeah, but I don't think we need to stop. No, no, no. It's only safety car. You can get a free stop, that's all.”
“You're at the point now, no mistake.”
“Something's wrong. I got nothing. My battery.”
“Is there a reason for this? Because if I'm pizza and I want to serve, what are you trying to do? I mean, I'm happy to do it, but I just... Are we just risking something for that big goal?”
“Lado, just, we're gonna box this lap and retire the car, we're gonna box the lap and retire the car.”
“Lander, we want to do the holding strategy on Russell. We want to build up the seconds over the next couple of laps, please.”

“What do you think about plan B? Repeat what was plan B, now I forgot it. Thank you, I think I'll have to stop.”
“No power, out of phase, out of phase. Yeah, copy that mate, we can see the issue, we are trying to work on a fix, doing a great job. Engine 3, position 11, engine 3, position 11.”
“Bord 6, Bord 6, we're looking at it mate, we're looking at it. Also the power is gone, the power.”
“Air George, how much pace would you have in clear air? At least one second, I think.”
“Hadjar has front left graining, he won't be able to look longer I don't think. Just make sure you've got good tyres when he does get out of the way.”
