F1 team plead with FIA for review after lost Monaco Grand Prix podium

Alpine has asked the FIA for a Right of Review after Pierre Gasly’s Monaco Grand Prix podium finish was taken away by two pit-lane speeding penalties.

The team said Gasly was left heartbroken after the race and wants the stewards to re-examine the decision. Formula 1’s official race reporting and Alpine’s own statement both say the French driver crossed the line third on the road before dropping to seventh in the final classification.

The FIA’s Monaco race documents list Gasly as seventh after the penalties were applied.

What happened

Gasly appeared set for a podium in Monaco before the two five-second pit-lane speeding penalties changed the result. Alpine and Gasly both believe the penalties were wrong and are challenging them through the review process.

What happens next

The key question now is whether the FIA accepts Alpine’s Right of Review request. If it does, the team will need to present new evidence before any decision can be reconsidered.

For now, the official classification stands, with Gasly recorded seventh and the podium lost after the penalties were imposed.
