The FIA stewards have agreed to Alpine’s request to review two five‑second pit‑lane speeding penalties that pushed Pierre Gasly from third to seventh at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Gasly crossed the line in third place, but a stewards decision applied two separate five‑second penalties for exceeding the 60 km/h limit in the pit lane. Six drivers were penalised for speeding under the same conditions, raising doubts about the timing‑loop system used to monitor pit‑lane speed.
Alpine filed a Right of Review on Sunday night; the stewards accepted the application on Thursday and will now assess whether the penalties should be rescinded.
For the race, Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar celebrated on the iconic podium while Gasly expressed that the demotion was the hardest sporting moment of his career.
The review’s outcome could reshape the Monaco finish, but the stewards’ decision remains pending as officials re‑evaluate the timing‑loop data.
