Formula 1’s 2026 Monaco Grand Prix results have been overturned again, as the FIA International Court of Appeal determined the time penalties initially lodged against Pierre Gasly will stand.As a result, the Alpine driver lost his third place finish, while Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar regained that spot.The controversial saga dates back to June, when Alpine filed an appeal over the pit lane speeding penalties Gasly received. The Frenchman was not the only driver dealt sanctions for such an infringement, but it was later determined the pit lane length had been measured incorrectly, leading to discrepancies with team pit lane speed limit calculations.The FIA stewards subsequently determined Gasly had not exceeded the pit lane speed limit, based on the new information provided, and overturned his two time penalties. McLaren and Red Bull filed further appeals against that move, sending the case to the International Court of Appeal. Alpine and Racing Bulls were also part of the proceedings.Hadjar has been restored to third place at June’s Monaco Grand Prix (Mark Thompson/Getty Images)The finalizing point of the proceedings, which took place in a close-door hearing in Paris last week, was that the Monaco GP was held with a common parameter that all teams abided by throughout the weekend and made strategic decisions with the declared speed limit and pit lane distance measurement in mind.“Selectively applying a different post-race parameter to car 10 (Gasly) would mean that competitors who calibrated and competed against the common benchmark would be judged by one standard,” the court said in its decision, which was published on Friday, “while car 10 would ultimately be judged by another.”The court did not accept the explanation that what made Gasly’s decision different from the other competitors is that he did not serve his penalty during the Monaco GP, which allowed for a post-race review to take place.“A tactical decision concerning when to serve a penalty cannot create for one competitor a different event-wide measurement parameter from that applied to the rest of the field,” it said.Alpine said in a statement that it is frustrated and disappointed by the court’s decision. It acknowledged the judges’ decision but disagrees, maintaining that Gasly didn’t exceed the pit lane speed limit.With Gasly dropping from third to seventh, he lost nine points, which impacts Alpine’s constructors’ championship standing. Alpine remains sixth but now faces a 16-point gap to Racing Bulls, with Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad gaining positions with the decision reversal.Monaco GP final Top 10
