Lewis Hamilton was subject to a post-race inspection at the Monaco Grand Prix, with the FIA confirming that samples had been taken from his Ferrari.

The seven-time world champion’s Monaco GP weekend was undone when he received a three-place grid penalty after he impeded rival Max Verstappen during qualifying, and was forced to start P7 and behind Fernando Alonso.

Hamilton managed to recover into P5, but the weekend was still undoubtedly difficult for the Brit, especially as his team-mate Charles Leclerc claimed second and a return for Ferrari on the podium.
