So the drivers under investigation at present are Hadjar and Perez. The result may take a while to be confirmed.

F1 Monaco LIVE: Antonelli wins chaotic GP, Hamilton second
Live coverage of Sunday at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix
KEY MOMENTS
- Antonelli took pole by 0.043s from Verstappen
- Verstappen stalls and retires on lap one
- Leclerc crashes as track breaks up
The sixth round of the 2026 Formula 1 season takes place at the Monaco Grand Prix.
A divisive event among the F1 fanbase, Monaco is still viewed as the jewel in the championship's crown, with the narrow, twisting streets offering a challenge seen nowhere else on the calendar. With no time to rest on the 19-turn, 3.337km layout, even the smallest of mistakes can carry a huge penalty.
Ferrari had been the team to beat across Friday, but Saturday saw Red Bull and Mercedes close the margin, with McLaren briefly providing a threat at the top of the time sheets.
Kimi Antonelli won out by 0.043s in a dramatic qualifying session that saw pole change hands at a startling rate. Max Verstappen completes the front row, with Lewis Hamilton heading the second row.
George Russell faces the prospect of losing significant ground in the championship battle, after struggling with his Mercedes and being unable to match team-mate Antonelli.
With Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon just outside the top 10, Williams will look to engineer their way into the points with an alternate pit strategy, possibly gambling on an inevitable safety car intervention.

Kimi Antonelli beats Lewis Hamilton to win suspended Monaco GP, more F1 title pain for George Russell
Andrea Kimi Antonelli further strengthened his lead at the top of the Formula 1 world championship with a convincing victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, which had to be red-flagged.
The 19-year-old Italian converted his maiden Monaco pole position into his first victory at F1’s crown jewel grand prix with a commanding performance that underlined his status as the favourite in the title race.

16:31
Hold the phone! A 10s penalty to Hulkenberg for causing a collision has promoted Perez to the points. Cadillac has a point for the first time, but the Mexican is still facing an investigation for a false start.
If he does get a penalty, Alonso would have taken Aston Martin's first point of the season. This is madness.
16:29
There's a very good chance that Hadjar will lose the podium however, with an investigation handing over him for a red flag infringement.
16:28
Hadjar claims third, with Piastri fourth after Gasly's 10s of penalties are applied.
16:26
Antonelli makes it five from five with Monaco GP victory
KIMI ANTONELLI WINS THE MONACO GRAND PRIX!
16:25
Onto the last lap we go! Antonelli has a lead of over five seconds.
16:23
At the moment, if Piastri can just sit behind Hadjar, he may well take a podium position - although it may come after the race finishes, with the stewards facing a long evening.
16:22
Antonelli has checked out by a couple of seconds from Hamilton with three laps remaining. Hamilton is 13s clear of Gasly, who is edging closer to the gap he needs to keep the silverware.
16:21
Gasly is in the top three right now, but he needs to pull a significant margin to keep the position.
16:20
Russell serves his penalty and drops to second last.
16:20
Hadjar has now been noted for a red flag infringement. Is there anything more to throw at the Red Bull driver, as he's cleared for a safety car infringement.
16:19
Seven drivers are out, and Antonelli is storming away. Hamilton is chasing quickly, but Piastri could be in line for a shock podium here.
16:18
Hulkenberg tags Sainz, and the Williams driver is into the wall at the hairpin. His first retirement in Monaco.
16:17
Race restart
Antonelli leads away again. Hamilton makes a strong start and the field make it through. Hadjar drops behind Russell and Gasly, but Russell has his heavy penalty to serve soon.
16:16
Antonelli reports that the track is still broken up, but we are lining up on the grid ready to go once more.
16:15
We will have a standing start.
16:14
No further action for Hamilton. You do have to question why the rule exists if it is not enforced.
16:13
This is bizarre. Hamilton has again left about 20-30 car lengths to Antonelli, with Hadjar nowhere in sight behind the Ferrari driver. Russell reports Hadjar again.
16:12
Race resumes
The safety car leads the drivers out of the pit lane, and the race has technically resumed. We are now on lap 69.
16:11
Out come the drivers who needed to unlap themselves.
16:10
The FIA report: "[The] field will reform in correct order under Safety Car for one or two laps followed by a standing start. Lapped cars to be released first."
16:09
Restart top 10
The order for the restart is:
- Antonelli
- Hamilton
- Hadjar
- Russell
- Gasly
- Ocon
- Lawson
- Lindblad
- Albon
- Sainz
16:08
Looking at those behind the leader, Hamilton and Hadjar both are being investigated and face penalties. Russell has a drive-through sanction that he will need to serve within three racing laps, and Gasly has five seconds.
Piastri and Lawson have an incredible chance to do something special with nothing against their names.
