The team has earned its first point of the 2026 season after Fernando took P10 at the Monaco Grand Prix. Lance unfortunately retired from the race after making contact with a barrier.
Read on for all the thoughts and reaction from the team trackside in Monte Carlo.
Fernando and Lance lined up P20 and P21 on the grid, promoted one position each with Gabriel Bortoleto starting in the pit lane.
Our drivers kept it clean at the start and pitted early to switch from the Medium to Soft compound tyres, as the team eyed a one-stop strategy.
Much of the race, typically for Monaco, was processional, with both our drivers lapping towards the back end of the field.
In the closing stages, Lance made contact with the barriers at Turn 19, reporting an issue in the deceleration phase of the corner, while the track surface breaking up on entry may have also played a part.
This sparked a Safety Car period, with Fernando pitting for a fresh set of Softs as the field bunched up.
On racing conditions resuming, Charles Leclerc suffered a similar incident to Lance at the same corner, prompting a red flag as the FIA sought to inspect the tarmac at Turn 19.
At the race restart, Fernando fought hard to take P11 across the line, which became P10 as Sergio Pérez was handed a penalty after the chequered flag.
A point on the board for 2026. Thank you to the team, our partners, and our fans for the ongoing work and continued support. Our focus now turns to Barcelona next weekend.
