F1 Standings after Monaco Grand Prix result changed AGAIN and Lewis Hamilton's big move

The F1 standings look different once more after the result of that controversial 2026 Monaco Grand Prix was changed AGAIN on Friday.

At around noon local time in Barcelona the news leaked that Alpine's Pierre Gasly has been reinstated into third position after his two five-second speeding penalties were rescinded following an FIA review.

Gasly had finished Sunday's 78-lap race in third position but the penalties - assessed post-race - had demoted him to seventh. Now he returns to the podium in the amended result with Red Bull's Isack Hadjar dropping back down to fourth.

The other big news out of Sunday's race was Lewis Hamilton moving up to second place in the standings after another terrific performance.

The 41-year-old British superstar endured a miserable first season in Maranello, being soundly beaten by team-mate Charles Leclerc in what turned into an awful campaign.

2026 has started much better for Hamilton though, and he is now ahead of his team-mate following his second consecutive second-place finish, this time in the principality. Leclerc meanwhile was a DNF after brake issues caused him to crash into a barrier.

Italian prodigy Kimi Antonelli, still only 19 years old, stretched his lead to 66 points at the top of the standings after claiming his fifth consecutive race victory in Monaco.

Hamilton's excellent result means he also leapfrogs George Russell as well as Leclerc into second place in the standings. Russell is down to third after a pointless and penalty-filled afternoon in Monaco.

It was a huge day for Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin as well as they both claimed their first point of a disastrous season so far. But it took a 10-second penalty for Sergio Perez of Cadillac for the Spaniard to move into 10th position.

While it was joy for Aston Martin it was abject misery for Cadillac, with that Perez penalty taking away what would have been the first point in team history.
