What happened: The initial hearing into Alpine's request to review the pit lane speeding penalties from the Monaco Grand Prix will be held Thursday at 13:00 Barcelona time. Should a significant and relevant new element that wasn't available at the time be established, a second hearing would follow to examine it.

Why it matters: The schedule confirms how the FIA will handle Alpine's petition for the right to review the in-race penalties. A right-of-review process turns on the two-stage test: the team must first clear the bar of a genuine new element before the original sanction can be reconsidered.

What to watch: Thursday's first hearing decides whether Alpine has met the new-element threshold; only if it clears that bar does a second hearing reconsider the penalties themselves.
