Cadillac's team principal hailed an “incredible testament to the resolve of the team” as Formula 1's newest constructor came close to an elusive first point, only to lose it to a penalty. Sergio Pérez finished strongly at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday to cross the line in 10th but was bumped down to 15th after the race when he was ruled to have false-started when the race resumed after an earlier suspension. Pérez had a wheel outside his grid box at the restart, his second false start of the race after lining up in the wrong spot at the original race start.
