What happened: Isack Hadjar claimed his first podium for Red Bull Racing at the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, finishing third behind race winner Kimi Antonelli and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton. The French driver secured the result despite reporting significant driveability issues throughout the final stint, which was interrupted by a Lap 68 red flag caused by track surface failure.
Why it matters: The result marks a major breakthrough for Hadjar in his debut season with the senior Red Bull squad, especially as teammate Max Verstappen retired on the opening lap. While Antonelli extends his championship lead with a fifth straight win, Hadjar was cleared in Monaco by stewards following a post-race investigation into a red-flag infringement, ensuring he kept the P3 trophy.
By the numbers: 1. Antonelli (Mercedes) 2. Hamilton (Ferrari) +6.2s 3. Hadjar (Red Bull) +23.3s 4. Piastri (McLaren) +24.2s 5. Lawson (RB) +26.5s 6. Lindblad (RB) +29.0s
What to watch: Teams head to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix, where Red Bull will look to address the reliability concerns that hampered Hadjar and sidelined Verstappen.
