Hadjar faces podium peril after stewards' summons
7 Jun
Summary
- Isack Hadjar summoned by stewards for potential infringement.
- Red Bull mechanics worked on RB22 during late red flag.
- Hadjar's third-place finish is provisional pending investigation.
Isack Hadjar's maiden Formula 1 podium at the Monaco Grand Prix is under threat following a summons from race stewards. The Red Bull driver faces scrutiny for a potential breach of technical regulations.
Specifically, Hadjar's team is alleged to have worked on the RB22 car during the red flag period that occurred late in the race. Stewards noted that upon inquiry, Red Bull mechanics ceased their work and returned the car to its previous state without replacing any components.
As a result, Hadjar's provisional third-place finish behind winner Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton is now uncertain. Should a penalty be imposed, it would grant Oscar Piastri a second podium of the season.
The race itself was highly eventful, marked by significant incidents including crashes involving Lance Stroll and Charles Leclerc, and damage to the circuit's final corner.
