The chaotic Monaco Grand Prix is not over yet. There are still two investigations pending after the chequered flag was waved in Monte Carlo, involving podium sitter Isack Hadjar and Sergio Perez.
McLaren and Aston Martin are both hoping to benefit from the stewards' verdicts after the conclusion of the Monaco Grand Prix. Hadjar is under investigation for a red flag infringement, which could promote Oscar Piastri to second place behind Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton in Monte Carlo.
Manuel Leal, the FIA Formula 1 Technical Delegate wrote: "During the suspension of the Race, mechanics of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team were working on car number 6, performing operations not permitted by Article B5.14.4.a. at 16:55. When queried about their works, they stopped working and reverted the car to its previous state without replacing any part. I am referring this matter to the Stewards for their consideration."
Sergio Perez provisionally scored Cadillac's first point today after crossing the finish line in 10th place. However, he is now under investigation for an alleged false start on the restart. Fernando Alonso could then be promoted to P10.
Hadjar had to appear in front of the stewards at 18:30 local time (17:30 GMT), while Perez completed his visit at 18:00 local time (17:00 GMT)
