Cadillac Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez has been given a 10-second penalty in the Monaco Grand Prix results, collapsing from a point-paying 10th position to last of the finishers.

Perez finished 10th on the road in an eventful race in the principality, making the most of the incidents that occurred around him – despite an early drive-through penalty for lining up in Gabriel Bortoleto’s empty grid spot, two places ahead of his own.

The Mexican veteran pitted early and gradually made his way up the order as chaos unfolded ahead of him – including many speeding penalties, a drive-through for George Russell, and a late collision involving Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg.

However, Perez ended up under investigation for being out of position at the second start, after the race was red-flagged due to the track surface deteriorating at Antony Noghes corner, where both Lance Stroll and Charles Leclerc crashed.

The Cadillac driver was confident he was still going to be able to score the new F1 team’s first point, but the stewards decided otherwise and gave him a 10-second penalty.

“The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 11 (Sergio Perez), team representative and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video and in-car video evidence,” the stewards’ report read.

“Video evidence showed clearly that the front right wheel of Car 11 was outside the starting box.  The standard penalty is applied.”

As a consequence, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso is inheriting 10th place, meaning Lawrence Stroll’s outfit has scored its first point of the season and is finally overtaking Cadillac in the constructors’ championship.

Perez’s woes are compounded by a third sanction of the day – a reprimand for failing to follow the race director’s instructions regarding practice starts.

“The driver admitted that he had made a practice start in the wrong position,” the stewards wrote.

Chelsea’s summer transfer window is starting to look like a major test of how much trust the club are ready to place in Xabi Alonso.

According to Football London, there is constant dialogue between Alonso and Chelsea’s sporting leadership team as they plan for the market.

That does not mean the Spaniard will control everything by himself, but it does suggest he will have a strong voice in shaping the squad.

Chelsea are believed to be targeting signings in three key areas: centre-back, central midfield and left wing.

Sky Sports reported last month that Chelsea had agreed a deal for Alonso to become their next permanent head coach on a four-year contract, with questions immediately raised over how much transfer control he would have.

Xabi Alonso is ready to make new signings at Chelsea

The answer appears to be somewhere in the middle: Alonso will be heavily involved, but the club’s recruitment structure will still guide the final decisions.

That approach makes sense. Chelsea have spent huge money in recent years, but the squad has often looked unbalanced.

There is talent everywhere, yet not always enough clarity. Alonso’s job will be to turn a collection of expensive players into a proper team with structure, identity and consistency.

A new centre-back feels important because Chelsea still need more defensive authority.

Central midfield is another obvious area, especially if Alonso wants more control and tactical intelligence in build-up.

Left wing is also interesting, with several attackers facing uncertain futures and the club still searching for the right balance in the final third.

There are also expected to be several departures from Stamford Bridge when the window opens.

That part may be just as important as the signings.

Chelsea cannot keep adding players without trimming the squad.

Reports have already suggested players such as Marc Cucurella could attract interest, with Atletico Madrid expected to open talks and Chelsea valuing him at around £60m.

Alonso’s arrival gives Chelsea a real chance to reset properly, but only if the club stay disciplined.

Signing three more players sounds exciting, but the bigger challenge is building a balanced squad around a clear football idea.

Chelsea do not just need names. They need players who fit Alonso’s system, accept their roles and raise the level immediately.

Fernando Alonso might be loudly complaining about the brutal 2026 technical regulations, but off the track, the veteran is quietly setting up his next massive media play. We just caught a major paddock leak over the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, and it completely throws a wrench into the narrative surrounding his immediate future with Aston Martin.

According to a paddock spot highlighted by @Nachez on X, Alonso is actively recording a brand-new documentary project right in the middle of the season.

The leaked images show the two-time world champion being actively trailed by an embedded camera crew deep in the Monaco paddock. But here is the most critical takeaway for the rumor mill: this is definitely not the same production company that handled his previous Fernando docuseries, currently sitting on Prime Video.

Wakai Media Enters the F1 Paddock

Based on the zoomed-in credentials spotted on the camera equipment, the crew belongs to a specialized audiovisual and talent representation group. When you connect the dots on the Spanish sports production landscape, this heavily points directly to Wakai Media.

This is the exact same high-level production powerhouse responsible for delivering massive, premium sports documentaries like Courtois: La vuelta del número 1 and FC Barcelona: A New Era.

They operate with a massive distribution footprint, having actively produced top-tier content for streaming giants including Prime Video, Apple TV+, Movistar+, and Disney+.

The Real Reason Behind the Cameras?

The timing of this filming is incredibly suspicious. Why is Alonso, right in the middle of an absolute nightmare of a 2026 season, suddenly embedding a fresh, high-profile documentary crew in his garage?

Wakai Media doesn’t just do standard, polished PR fluff pieces; they specialize in deep-dive, narrative-shifting character studies that often document immense personal struggles or massive career transitions.

If Alonso is genuinely considering pulling the plug on his Formula 1 career—or plotting a massive, shock exit from the struggling Aston Martin project—he now has the perfect, high-production vehicle to aggressively control his own narrative.

Whether this ultimately turns into an emotional swan song chronicle or a brutal, behind-the-scenes look at his frustration with modern hybrid F1 machinery, we need to keep a very close eye on where those cameras go next.
