Isack Hadjar faces a serious threat to his first Formula 1 podium finish at the Monaco Grand Prix after stewards opened a case for a possible race‑suspension infringement.
Potential Breach of Technical Regulation
Stewards claim that Red Bull mechanics worked on the RB22 during the late red flag, a move that may violate Article B5.14.4 a of the technical regulations. The crew reportedly halted activity, reverted the car to its former state, and left no parts replaced.
Red Bull’s Podium Peril
Hadjar has provisionally placed third behind Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton. A penalty would hand the season’s second podium to McLaren’s Oscar Piastri.
Late‑Round Chaos and the Red Flag
The stoppage followed crashes from Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Charles Leclerc, which fractured the tarmac at the final corner and forced a red flag.
Stewards are still reviewing the evidence; an adverse decision could mean the loss of a historic achievement for Red Bull.
