Since joining in 2026, he has produced high-volume reporting on the sport’s biggest stories, alongside feature pieces including analysis and historical content.

The Formula 1 championship standings have been updated following the Monaco Grand Prix, with Kimi Antonelli taking victory around the iconic Monte Carlo streets.

Championship leader Antonelli now sits on 156 points, with Mercedes teammate George Russell now overtaken by Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton for P2, and even further behind in the title battle after a penalty-ridden race saw him finish P13.

Hometown hero Charles Leclerc had seen his place in the standings also leapfrogged by teammate Hamilton, after crashing upon a Safety Car restart and bringing out a 30-minute Red Flag.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen has also been handed a huge blow in the Drivers' standings, after the Dutchman stalled and then retired on the opening lap of the Grand Prix.

As has Lando Norris, the McLaren driver suffered his second breakdown in a row after 45 laps - heartbreak for the 2025 Monaco GP winner.

As for the Constructors’ Standings, Mercedes maintain their lead in the title fight, although Red Bull find consolation in Isack Hadjar's second podium finish of the season, but is under investigation for a Red Flag infringement after the race.

Cadillac seemed to have scored their first ever points in F1 following a penalty for Nico Hulkenberg, with Sergio Perez crossing the line in P10, but the American team is under investigation for a false start.

Here are the updated F1 Standings after the Monaco GP:
