Hamilton on reminding people who he is after Ferrari podiums
Lewis Hamilton says he is “having to remind people who I am” after taking consecutive Formula 1 podiums in Canada and Monaco in his Ferrari. Hamilton said: "I'm grateful to have moved forward, because we started third, so to get to second is awesome to have two seconds. Especially, I think with a good race in Montreal, and everyone was like, 'Yeah, but he's quick there'. I feel like I'm in a period where I'm having to remind people who I am. My fans last year were telling me to remind me of who I am, and now I'm having to show up each weekend and try to do that."

D'Ambrosio on Ferrari's Monaco double-stack decision
Ferrari deputy team principal Jerome D'Ambrosio said the team had to double-stack Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton under the safety car at the Monaco Grand Prix, even though it was not “100% optimised” for Leclerc. D'Ambrosio said: "There were some discussions during the race on that. I mean, the risk is that if you wait while the safety car is out, you could also find yourself with the safety car right in front of you, and then you've completely lost everything. So perhaps it wasn't 100% optimised for him personally, that last stop. But in hindsight, it's what you have to do as a team."

Hadjar keeps Monaco third after FIA review
Isack Hadjar has retained his Monaco Grand Prix third place after stewards investigated Red Bull over an alleged red-flag infringement under Article B5.14.4.a, relating to work on the car. The FIA said the team was reported as attempting to change spark plugs/coils but did not proceed, and the car “started in the same condition as it arrived in the pits”, so “no further action is taken”. However, Hadjar’s podium could still be challenged as Alpine has lodged a Right of Review over Pierre Gasly’s twin five-second pitlane speeding penalties.

FIA declares Red Bull best F1 engine as it makes upgrade call
Red Bull’s Ford-branded Red Bull Powertrains engine has been classified by the FIA as F1’s current benchmark under the Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities (ADUO) system, The Race reports, leaving it ineligible for extra upgrade homologations. Teams were informed on Monaco Grand Prix race day of the first 2026 ruling, with Mercedes judged to be more than 2% behind and therefore allowed one upgrade, while Ferrari and the other manufacturers were deemed over 4% adrift and so get two. The assessment is understood to be based only on the internal combustion engine, with the FIA’s exact metrics not disclosed.

Wolff said: "We were not completely ready to have him in. We had a bit of confusion ourselves on the strategy, then he came in and we didn't hold him for five seconds.

Russell on Monaco penalties after pit-lane software issue
George Russell said he is “struggling to comprehend what is going on” after the Monaco Grand Prix, where an initial pit-lane speeding penalty escalated into a drive-through and left him 13th. Russell said: "I'm flat. I'm beyond frustration. I'm in a state of struggling to comprehend what is going on. The team told me there's nothing I did wrong in the pit lane... I pressed the limiter before the entry, I released it after the exit, but there was a software issue. A five-second penalty, not ideal, not the end of the world, but then with the pit stop, didn't serve it, drive-through penalty... the punishment doesn't fit the crime, and I went from P3 to zero points."

Russell on software issue behind Monaco pit-lane speeding penalty
George Russell said a "software issue" was to blame for his pit-lane speeding penalty at the Monaco Grand Prix, which he felt ultimately cost him heavily in the race. Russell said: "The team said there was nothing I did wrong with the speeding in the pit-lane, it was a software issue, and it was not ideal, but not the end of the world, and then obviously the drive-through for not serving it correctly. Probably with the software glitch, I gained one-tenth of a second in the whole pit-lane, and lost 13 positions."
