What happened: Alpine has formally petitioned the FIA for a Right of Review following the Monaco Grand Prix, where Pierre Gasly was stripped of a podium finish due to pit lane speeding penalties. Gasly received two separate five-second penalties for exceeding the 60 km/h limit by as little as 0.1 km/h, dropping him from third to seventh in the final classification.

Why it matters: The team is presenting internal telemetry as new evidence, arguing a system error or track layout anomaly caused the timing loops to register speeds higher than the car's limiter. The outcome is critical for Alpine, as reinstating the podium would mark their first of the 2026 season and significantly boost their standing in the constructors' championship.

What to watch: The FIA stewards must now determine if Alpine’s telemetry constitutes significant new evidence before proceeding to a formal hearing.
