Pierre Gasly was handed two five-second F1 penalties for pit lane speeding at the Monaco Grand Prix, initially costing him a podium finish before Alpine's successful appeal13:11, 12 Jun 2026Isack Hadjar has been stripped of his maiden Red Bull podium finish several days after the Monaco Grand Prix, following a successful appeal by Alpine. The stewards have overturned two five-second penalties handed to Pierre Gasly during the race, reinstating him in third place and bumping fellow Frenchman Hadjar down to fourth in the final standings.‌Gasly was among a number of drivers penalised during the race for exceeding the speed limit in the pit lane.‌However, he was insistent that he had activated his speed limiter in good time and was devastated at being denied third place and not getting the opportunity for a podium finish.‌Shortly after the chequered flag, his Alpine team confirmed they had lodged a Right of Review request with the FIA.That hearing took place on Thursday in Barcelona, where it was swiftly determined that Alpine's Right of Review was admissible on the grounds that significant, relevant and new evidence had been presented.Formula One Management, as the sport's official timekeepers, submitted evidence that the distance between the timing loops used to measure car speeds was inaccurate, resulting in Gasly's speed - and apparently that of several other drivers - being overestimated during the Grand Prix.‌However, as the sole team to lodge a Right of Review, Gasly's penalties were the only ones liable to be overturned.Following the conclusion of the second part of the hearing later on Thursday, it was confirmed on Friday morning that Alpine had been victorious and that Gasly's third-place finish had been restored.An Alpine team statement read: "We welcome the decision made by the FIA to deem our Right of Review as admissible following the final classification of last weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.‌JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!

The team's focus is now very much on this weekend’s Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix and striving for the best possible result with both of its cars."In outlining their reasoning for overturning Gasly's penalties, the stewards stated: "Following the acceptance of the petition, the finding of its admissibility and compliance with the International Sporting Code, the stewards' sole task is to determine if Car 10 exceeded the speed limit of 60 km/h in the pit lane. We determine that it did not."In this case, the stewards unanimously make their determinations with the required level of comfortable satisfaction, however the evidence, in our view, approaches that of beyond reasonable doubt.‌"We determine that the penalties be rescinded, the five seconds added to the elapsed race time of Car 10 shall be removed, and the classification shall be amended accordingly."Gasly was not the only driver handed a penalty for exceeding the pit lane speed limit during the Monaco race. Yet despite it now being confirmed that the timing system was faulty, the remaining penalties will stand, as sanctions that have already been served cannot be appealed, and no other team besides Alpine chose to exercise its Right of Review on the matter.The stewards confirmed: "Other cars were penalised, some served their penalty and this regrettably, impacted their race strategies and therefore their race result. There will undoubtedly remain questions as to whether those breaches were genuine.Article continues below"There is no regulation that gives the stewards the power to 'undo' a served penalty. In any case, it is impossible to imagine how such power could be applied. Notably, no other party petitioned for a Right of Review within the allowable time frame."
