Overview
- Stewards rescinded Pierre Gasly’s two five‑second pit‑lane speeding penalties last week after Alpine used new Formula One Management timing evidence to show a pit‑lane distance error affected speed calculations.
- McLaren and Red Bull formally lodged notifications of appeal with the FIA International Court of Appeal on Tuesday to challenge the stewards’ decision and the revised Monaco classification and points.
- The reversal promoted Gasly to third and demoted Isack Hadjar and Oscar Piastri, but Piastri and several others had already served identical in‑race penalties that could not be reversed, which teams say creates an unfair outcome.
- Mercedes has submitted a Right of Review over George Russell’s Monaco result and is awaiting the FIA’s decision on admissibility while no court or hearing date has been announced for the appeals.
- The dispute centres on FOM’s timing‑loop method for enforcing the 60 km/h pit limit, a reported measurement shortfall of around 77cm, and could prompt changes to how timing systems are calibrated and how post‑race corrections are handled.
