The Monaco pitlane-speed penalties saga took another twist after Flavio Briatore’s furious press conference accused a McLaren-linked ICA judge of bias; the latest FIA ICA ruling overturned a previous podium reinstatement for Pierre Gasly, keeping the outcome uncertain while defamation questions loom over Briatore and the governance of FIA tribunals are defended by the FIA.
The FIA Court of Appeal dismissed Flavio Briatore's claim that a judge in the Alpine-Gasly case was biased due to links with McLaren, reiterating judges’ independence and disclosure duties. Briatore had argued one official attended a charity event with McLaren connections; the FIA defended the process and allowed no objections to the proceedings. The court’s ruling kept Gasly in seventh and elevated three Red Bull drivers and one McLaren driver in the final order, prompting strong rebukes from McLaren as Briatore’s allegations were publicly aired. Andrea Stella of McLaren emphasized the hearing's high standards and rejected the accusations.
The International Court of Appeal reinstated Pierre Gasly’s two five-second Monaco pitlane penalties, moving him from P3 to P7 and giving Isack Hadjar the podium; the decision held that retroactively changing the common calibration distance after teams had prepared was unfair, upholding the original timing measurement and requiring Alpine and FIA to cover the other teams’ legal costs. Gasly also loses nine points as a result of the reinstated penalties.
The FIA International Court of Appeal reinstated Pierre Gasly’s two five-second penalties from the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix after a miscalibrated pit-lane speed loop, dropping Gasly from P3 to P7 and promoting Isack Hadjar to P3; McLaren and Red Bull had appealed, arguing the ruling created inequity. Alpine expressed disappointment but accepted the decision. As a result, Hadjar, Piastri, Lawson and Lindblad each gain three points, while Gasly loses nine points, reshaping the drivers' standings ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.
The Monaco Grand Prix result was altered after McLaren and Red Bull’s appeals: Gasly’s two five-second penalties for pit-lane speeding were reinstated, dropping him from the podium to 7th, while Isack Hadjar reclaimed his original podium, Oscar Piastri moved up to 4th, and Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad finished 5th and 6th. Alpine expressed disappointment, and the FIA announced it will review the Formula 1 timing system and related procedures, as well as the appeal process, with further consideration of judicial practices.
Pierre Gasly’s Monaco Grand Prix podium was revoked after the FIA International Court of Appeal upheld his pit-lane speeding penalties, dropping him from third to seventh while Isack Hadjar inherited third and Oscar Piastri dropped to fifth; Alpine expressed disappointment, and the FIA said it will review the timing system and related procedures.
Wagner Moura is in talks to join the Warner Bros. Ocean’s 11 prequel, reuniting with Margot Robbie (producer) and Bradley Cooper (director). The film, set around the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix and tracing Danny Ocean’s parents, is slated for a June 25, 2027 release with Cooper drafting the screenplay.
Mercedes chief Toto Wolff says the team is exploring remedies for George Russell after FIA stewards reversed Pierre Gasly’s Monaco penalty and reinstated Gasly, though Russell’s drive-through penalty remains and an actual appeal is unlikely. The Monaco decision, tied to a pit-lane timing error, has the team reassessing timing/regulatory options while learning from the incident to prevent repeats in the future.
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.
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.
