Overview
- Pierre Gasly finished third on the road at the Monaco Grand Prix but was demoted to seventh after two five‑second pit‑lane speeding penalties recorded at 60.1 km/h and 60.4 km/h cost him ten seconds.
- Alpine formally filed a Right of Review and the FIA has scheduled a virtual first‑stage hearing for Thursday 11 June at 13:00 CEST to decide whether the team has provided a significant and relevant new element.
- Team personnel measured the Monaco pit lane after the race using a trundle wheel and say they will submit those measurements plus car telemetry as the new evidence required to reopen the case.
- The FIA enforces Monaco’s 60 km/h limit by calculating average speed between fixed timing loops, and teams say the pit‑entry geometry lets drivers shorten the actual distance between those loops which can artificially raise the calculated average.
- Stewards face a high evidentiary bar to overturn decisions and reversing Gasly’s penalties would be complex because other drivers served or were affected by similar penalties, though the review could still prompt changes to measurement and enforcement methods.
