Canadian Grand Prix: Russell on pole with Verstappen alongside
Update: Date: 18:06 BST Title: Hadjar hit with three-place grid penalty Content: Carlos Sainz was furious with his Q1 exit on Saturday and instantly flagged to his Williams team he had been the victim of "massive impeding" during the scrap to make it through to Q2. The offending car was Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar, who was given misinformation by his pit wall that Spaniard Sainz had already aborted his lap when the two cars came across each other in the first sector. After qualifying, the stewards found Hadjar guilty of impeding so the Frenchman will now drop down the order from P9 to P12, promoting Alex Albon, Franco Colapinto and Nico Hulkenberg.

Lewis Hamilton hit with penalty after Max Verstappen clash in Monaco GP qualifying
Lewis Hamilton has been handed a three-place grid penalty for the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. The seven-time F1 world champion recorded his best grand prix qualifying result for Ferrari and was set to start fourth on the grid on Sunday. Advertisement Yet in Q1, Hamilton was involved in an impeding incident with Max Verstappen. The Brit's race engineer, Riccardo Adami, originally told his driver that Verstappen was on a fast lap, before stating he was on a slow lap. Hamilton veered slightly on the racing line, but Verstappen was indeed on a push lap. Hamilton said: 'You said he was slowing down, f*** sake man!' The stewards investigated the incident after the session, with the 40-year-old now dropping from fourth to seventh. Hamilton was pictured apologising to Verstappen after qualifying. The penalty also means Verstappen, who qualified fifth, will now start alongside Oscar Piastri on the grid in fourth spot. Isack Hadjar moves up to fifth, with Fernando Alonso now starting sixth. Advertisement Hamilton said afterwards: 'It is very difficult to keep out of the way of everybody, I was doing a good job. 'But then the team said Max was on a fast lap, then they said he wasn't. I was about to get back on power, accelerated for 10m, I was off the line, but did have an impact on him.' Verstappen, speaking after qualifying, did acknowledge it the scenario wasn't Hamilton's fault but did believe the Ferrari driver should be penalised. Hamilton had originally qualified fourth on the grid in Monaco (PA Wire) 'It's not nice, the team told him I was driving slow when I was clearly driving fast,' he said. 'It's not Lewis' fault. I already spoke to him about it. It's the team's mistake.' Advertisement Asked if he believes Hamilton should get a penalty, he replied: 'If you look at the history of things, yes. Normally in qualifying, they're quite strict on these things.' Lando Norris took pole position with a terrific final lap, with home hero Charles Leclerc in second. The 78-lap race has added intrigue this year, with each car required to run three different sets of tyres - which is likely to make two pit-stops a mandatory requirement.
