Pierre Gasly Stripped of Monaco GP Podium After McLaren, Red Bull Appeals
McLaren and Red Bull’s appeals were upheld after a pit-lane timing loop issue, leaving Gasly seventh and Hadjar back on the podium.
The FIA International Court of Appeal stripped Pierre Gasly of his third-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix on Friday. Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar is reinstated to third, with Gasly relegated to seventh in the final classification.
Appeals from McLaren and Red Bull prompted the International Court to hold a hearing following last month's Dutch Grand Prix to resolve disputed pit-lane timing measurements. Multiple drivers received incorrect speeding penalties due to Formula 1's miscalculation of pit-lane length.
Alpine maintained that Car #10 did not exceed the Pit Lane speed limit and acknowledged the decision from the hearing in Paris. The team expressed disappointment, stating it feels "unjustly punished" by the ruling.
The revised final classification places Gasly in seventh place, dropping him from the podium he had regained following Alpine's earlier successful appeal. Isack Hadjar secures third place, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri fourth.
Alpine remains focused on a competitive Championship fight for the remainder of the season while assessing all options in response to the verdict. The team aims to improve performance on track despite the setback.
The chaos about speed violations at the Formula 1 race in Monaco has a late replay. Alpine racer Pierre Gasly is experiencing a disappointment in his appointment.
