Isack Hadjar keeps third place at the Monaco Grand Prix after the FIA clears Red Bull of a suspected red‑flag infringement. Stewards say no power‑unit parts are changed.
The red flag follows final‑corner surface damage, while the interruption leaves Red Bull probing an intermittent engine issue on Hadjar’s car.
Red‑flag repairs are tightly limited; power‑unit component changes are not permitted.
Red‑flag regulations permit only accident repairs. Power‑unit swaps, including spark plugs or coils, are forbidden. Officials intervene before Red Bull can fit new parts.
On Sunday night, stewards review photographic evidence supplied by Red Bull. They conclude the car exits the pit lane in the same specification it enters. No penalty follows.
FIA confirms Hadjar’s car leaves the pit lane unchanged; no action taken.
Team principal Laurent Mekies says mechanics begin troubleshooting but stop when instructed by officials. He declines to say whether parts are pre‑positioned, stressing original components remain fitted. Hadjar’s podium stands.
This case underlines how narrow the margins are during suspensions. Crossing the line risks penalties, as the podium under threat debate illustrates.
Red Bull halts work immediately after officials’ instruction, preserving Hadjar’s podium.
Elsewhere, several drivers receive pit‑lane speeding penalties, adding to a procedural Sunday. Red Bull’s power unit remains the benchmark under development restrictions, pressuring Mercedes and Ferrari on upgrades.
For Hadjar, this confirms a significant early‑career milestone in Monaco. With the matter closed, attention turns to upcoming rounds after earlier run‑ins with stewards complicated his ascent.
