In Monaco, Gasly initially received two pit-lane speed penalties totaling 10 seconds, dropping him to P7, and five drivers were penalized for speeding by 0.1 kph. The stewards later ruled the penalties were issued in error after FOM revealed a miscalculation in the pit-lane distance (77 cm off), rescinding the penalties and promoting Gasly to P3 while demoting Isack Hadjar to P4, reversing the podium.
FIA stewards overturned two five-second penalties on Pierre Gasly after Alpine showed pit-lane speed measurements were miscalculated due to a distance error in Monaco, reinstating Gasly to third and moving Alpine up while Red Bull’s Hadjar drops to fourth; penalties for others had already been served and remain unchanged, and Alpine’s right of review is credited with the podium restoration.
Alpine’s right-of-review overturned Pierre Gasly’s two Monaco pit-lane speeding penalties, restoring him to third, with the Drivers’ and Constructors’ standings recalculated and the review deposits refunded.
Pierre Gasly was reinstated to third place at Monaco after Alpine successfully appealed penalties for pit-lane speeding; the stewards ruled Gasly had not exceeded the limit and noted changes to the pit-lane distance, with most alleged overspeeds at 0.1 km/h over the limit and one at 0.4 km/h. Hamilton's penalty did not affect his second place due to how it was served during a safety-car period, while Piastri dropped to fifth as a consequence of the penalties.
Alpine has filed for a Right of Review with the FIA to challenge Pierre Gasly’s Monaco penalties tied to the pit-lane timing system, arguing Gasly and others did not exceed the 60 kph limit and that the system may have misfired. The hearing could raise questions about how pit-lane speed is enforced and potentially affect other penalties, though a full race result change is unlikely. The Monaco setup and the timing infrastructure add complexity, and the case could prompt scrutiny or changes to enforcement without necessarily restoring Gasly’s podium.
Franco Colapinto disobeyed team orders by overtaking Pierre Gasly late in the US Grand Prix, leading to internal criticism from Alpine, despite improving their race result; the incident highlights team strategy tensions and driver motivation issues.
