Cadillac Lose First F1 Point After Perez Demoted
- Cadillac lost its first-ever Formula 1 point at the Monaco Grand Prix after a post-race penalty for Sergio Perez, promoting Fernando Alonso into 10th place and awarding Aston Martin its first points finish of the year.
- FIA stewards handed Perez a 10-second penalty after finding he lined up out of position in his grid slot following the late restart, replacing the standard drive-through penalty.
- Throughout the race, Perez struggled with procedural errors, including a drive-through penalty for parking in the wrong grid slot at the initial start where he mistakenly positioned his car in 16th instead of 18th.
- In just Cadillac's sixth race since joining the grid, the penalty proved costly; the result remains consequential for the battle to finish 10th if Aston Martin cannot find significant performance improvements later in the year.
- Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli dominated the Monaco Grand Prix, leading from start to finish to claim his fifth consecutive victory, while the chaotic race featured multiple incidents including a red flag following Charles Leclerc's late crash.
