McLaren and Red Bull have won their appeals against the result of the Monaco Grand Prix after a controversy over multiple incorrect pit-lane speeding penalties.
The victory means Alpine's Pierre Gasly loses the podium he was awarded after an appeal by his French team that overturned two five-second penalties.
Gasly, who finished third on the road, is dropped back to the seventh place he received in the official results.
Alpine, unlike the other teams involved, did not serve the penalties in the race because they believed they had been applied incorrectly.
Red Bull's Isack Hadjar is returned to third place and McLaren's Oscar Piastri fourth, with Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad moving up to fifth and sixth.

Kimi Antonelli is going to start the Italian Grand Prix from somewhere near the back of the grid, and Mercedes chose that outcome on purpose.
Team boss Toto Wolff confirmed after the Dutch Grand Prix that the championship leader will take a fresh power unit at his home race in Monza, triggering a grid penalty that could push him to the back row depending on how many components get swapped. It's a deliberate hit to a driver sitting on one of the healthier points cushions in recent memory, and it hands a very specific kind of opportunity to Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc heading into the one weekend of the year built for making up ground through raw speed rather than clever strategy.
Under F1's power unit rules, teams get a fixed allocation of components for the season, and going even one over that limit on a single part triggers an automatic grid penalty the next time it's used. Antonelli's retirement in Barcelona earlier this year, an electrical failure that erased a big chunk of his points lead in one afternoon, is why Mercedes decided a scheduled penalty beats another unscheduled DNF. Wolff didn't dress it up when he explained the choice: "With Kimi, we're taking the full thing. Our calculations say that that's the best track to take it. Obviously, algorithms don't take their nationality into consideration. We're here to fight for a championship and not get the most PR."
Monza's reputation as the easiest track on the calendar to recover lost ground is part of that math. Pierre Gasly won there from tenth in 2020, Daniel Ricciardo won from a midfield slot the following year, and Max Verstappen took victory in 2022 after starting five places back. We covered just how thin these allocations have gotten across the grid after the Belgian Grand Prix, when a single weekend produced a 30-place penalty for Isack Hadjar and 10-place drops apiece for Lando Norris, Lance Stroll and Carlos Sainz, all for the same rule Antonelli is about to run into at Monza.
Recovering from the back isn't quite the free pass it used to be, though. DRS is gone under the 2026 regulations, replaced by a manual override system that only unlocks within a fixed distance of the car ahead and draws from a battery that's already stretched thin at a circuit with almost no meaningful braking to recharge it. Monza asks cars to scavenge energy at full throttle instead of under braking, which is a very different proposition for a driver trying to slice through traffic than it was in the DRS era. Antonelli might still make Monza look easy. He just won't have quite the same tools to do it with.

Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson will remain with Red Bull Racing in the lead-up to the Italian Grand Prix in just under two weeks. The New Zealander is being prepared for the scenario in which the recovering Isack Hadjar, who suffered a wrist injury, is still unavailable in Monza, GPblog understands.
Liam Lawson earned an unexpected promotion to the main team last weekend for the Dutch Grand Prix, after Isack Hadjar sustained a fracture in his wrist during a practice session. As a result, Max Verstappen's teammate was unable to take part in the latest Formula 1 race at the Zandvoort circuit.
In announcing the temporary driver swap, Red Bull stated that Hadjar was expected to miss only the Dutch Grand Prix, with further evaluations to follow after the race to **** s his availability for the next round in Italy. GPblog has heard that Hadjar indicated internally last weekend in the Netherlands that his wrist already felt better than it had a few days earlier. The Frenchman is said to be optimistic about a swift return.
Should it become clear in the coming week that Hadjar is still not fit enough to race in Monza, Liam Lawson will once again step in for Red Bull Racing. With that possibility in mind, Red Bull has decided to keep the New Zealander with the team for the time being, so that he would arrive in Italy better prepared than he was in the Netherlands, if needed.
Lawson proved to be a fine substitute for Hadjar in Zandvoort. The 24-year-old driver finished seventh in the Grand Prix, which, given the relative performance of the cars, was exactly where Lawson could reasonably be expected to end up. Considering Lawson's performance, there seems to be no pressing need for Red Bull to rush Hadjar back into the car sooner than is advisable.

Yuki Tsunoda says Racing Bulls has been "pretty impressed" with the way he has adapted to Formula 1's 2026-spec machinery as he stands in for Liam Lawson at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Lawson got a call-up to Red Bull after Isack Hadjar injured his wrist over the summer break, hence Tsunoda's opportunity at Racing Bulls on a tricky sprint weekend in Zandvoort.
The 26-year-old was unfamiliar with the new generation of cars but has been getting closer and closer to impressive rookie team-mate Arvid Lindblad.
Tsunoda was 0.825s adrift of the Briton in the only free practice session, but brought his deficit down to 0.433s in SQ1 and 0.360s in SQ2, then 0.011s in Q1 and 0.102s in Q2, having finished the sprint race 11.5 seconds in arrears.
"Honestly, I'm super happy," the ***** anese racer rejoiced. "Certainly, I enjoyed so much this qualifying.

Liam Lawson was alerted about his Red Bull F1 chance as he arrived backed to United Kingdom from holidays, as he heads into the weekend with pressure but as much.
After his unceremonious departure from Red Bull in F1 2026 after completing just the two races, Lawson returns to the seat he vacated alongside Max Verstappen for this weekend in Dutch GP at Circuit Zandvoort. This is a second time he has been called-up in this way at this venue.
Few years back, he drafted in from Saturday at Racing Bulls for Danile Ricciardo, who injured his hand in practice. Co-incidently, he is replacing Isack Hadjar at Red Bull, who has injured his wrist in summer break. At least this time, Lawson has more days to prepare for the F1 weekend.
He got to know on Monday about the Red Bull F1 chance when he arrived back in the UK after his holidays. He managed one simulator session at Milton Keynes after all the seat fitting. But his preparation hasn't been any different, just that the eye to the details has been more.
The power unit is the same but it will be getting used to the chassis and car, especially in a F1 sprint weekend with just the one practice. There is pressure but not as much, with his future also on the line, considering the rumours around the promotion of Nikola Tsolov.

Our new home jersey for the 2026/27 season is here – and there's more physics behind it than you might initially think. The inspiration: the Doppler effect, coined by the Salzburg physicist Christian Doppler. Formula 1 driver Isack Hadjar of Red Bull Racing demonstrates how this principle manifests itself in practice in a video featuring his car.
The dynamic elements on the front of our new kit capture the movement of sound waves – the pitch changes you hear, for example, when a Formula 1 car passes by. Our Red Bulls will give the kit its debut this weekend in their cup tie in Oberwart.
You can get your jersey now at our Bullshop and in our official online fan shop!

After surprising even himself with third place in sprint qualifying, Verstappen's qualifying session for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix turned into a major disappointment.
For the first time since Baku 2024, Verstappen was beaten by a team-mate in Q3 – back then it was Sergio Perez, this time it was Isack Hadjar, who finished one-and-a-half tenths ahead.
However, Verstappen already felt during qualifying that something was wrong with Red Bull's 2026 power unit, known as the DM01.

F1 British GP: Kimi Antonelli beats Charles Leclerc to pole position

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli took pole position for the British Grand Prix with another impressive performance to beat the Ferraris and team-mate George Russell.
The Italian, who won the sprint race at Silverstone earlier on Saturday, was faster than Ferrari's Charles Leclerc by 0.175 seconds.
Lewis Hamilton was third in the second Ferrari, ahead of George Russell, who was 0.370secs slower than his 19-year-old team-mate.
Isack Hadjar took fifth, beating team-Max Verstappen for only the second time all year when both finished qualifying, the Dutchman split from the Frenchman by McLaren's Lando Norris.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri led the Racing Bulls of 18-year-old British rookie Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson to complete the top 10.

Liam Lawson held on to his point for finishing eighth in the British Grand Prix sprint race after receiving a warning for moving in front of Isack Hadjar under braking - as Hadjar told stewards that it was not worth a penalty.
Lawson had moved into the top eight after Hadjar slipped down the order on the opening lap, and after clearing a fast-starting Pierre Gasly. With Hadjar catching in the latter stages, however, Lawson had his work cut out to keep the Red Bull behind.
Hadjar attempted to put a move on Lawson on the penultimate lap to reclaim control of the final point on the entry to Stowe corner but found Lawson chopping across his bow to resist the Frenchman's efforts.
This was noted and investigated as an 'abnormal change of direction', but Lawson escaped any further penalty; he finished seven tenths clear of his former Racing Bulls team-mate to maintain the final point on offer.
The FIA stewards' report declared that although the change in direction was enough to earn a warning, Hadjar defended Lawson by stating that he had been given enough room.

The 2026 Formula 1 season has pushed Red Bull Racing to its absolute limit, but the team is preparing an unprecedented, multi-million-dollar counterattack for their home race.
Facing the genuine threat of losing Max Verstappen, Milton Keynes is executing a dual-front strategy ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix: delivering their most critical engineering upgrade of the year while the company’s highest tier of ownership steps in with an aggressive financial package.
On the technical side, Red Bull is pushing all its chips into the middle of the table. According to a report from De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren, the team is introducing an overhaul that surpasses their previous major development steps. The update is explicitly described as the “most important upgrade package of the year,” designed to alter the behavior of the RB22 chassis fundamentally.
The primary objective of these new parts is curing the car’s chronic weight issues. At the start of the 2026 campaign, the car rolled out a staggering 12 kilograms overweight. While a previous upgrade package in Miami managed to slice that deficit down significantly, the upgrades arriving in Austria are engineered to finally bring the car down to the absolute minimum weight limit.
Shedding this remaining bulk is expected to unlock a massive chunk of lap time, giving Verstappen and teammate Isack Hadjar the performance baseline they need to fight at the front.

Alpine, which successfully won the review over Pierre Gasly’s penalty, now owns a third-place finish this season at the Monaco Grand Prix.
However, Alpine does not yet have the trophy, as Red Bull claims it is back in France and in Isack Hadjar’s possession.
Hadjar did not cross the line in third place; rather, it was given to him after the fact, following Gasly’s penalties being enacted.
Alpine and Gasly challenged the penalties to the FIA and then managed to get them overturned, marking a big victory for the French racing team.
With the team not having won the trophy yet, Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz shared that Alpine and its executive, Flavio Briatore, were not pleased about not having it back.

Lewis Hamilton turned his Monaco Grand Prix podium into a public romantic moment with Kim Kardashian watching from below.
The Ferrari driver finished second at the 2026 Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, June 7, then blew a kiss toward Kardashian from the podium as she filmed him. People reported that the moment came after Hamilton claimed another strong result during his first season with Ferrari.
Kardashian attended the race in Monte Carlo with sister Khloé Kardashian and family friend Simon Huck. A day earlier, the group had also been seen in Monaco as Hamilton prepared for qualifying.
Formula 1 reported that Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli won the race, with Hamilton finishing second for Ferrari. Isack Hadjar completed the podium for Red Bull after a post-race review.
The race had multiple retirements, a late red flag, and a restart. Reuters reported that Antonelli led from pole position and held off Hamilton to become the youngest winner of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli pipped Red Bull's Max Verstappen to pole position in a gripping qualifying session at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The top spot changed hands three times in the final seconds of qualifying as Antonelli became last man standing, edging Verstappen by just 0.043 seconds to take his fourth pole of the year.
Lewis Hamilton was third as the fastest Ferrari, a place ahead of team-mate Charles Leclerc, who had been briefly top with two minutes to go but crashed on his final lap.
And Antonelli's **** le rival George Russell in the second Mercedes was only sixth, behind Red Bull's Isack Hadjar.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris could manage only seventh and eighth places.
