What happened: The FIA has deemed Alpine's petition for a right of review admissible following the Monaco Grand Prix. Evidence from Formula One Management (FOM) revealed that the distance used to calculate pit lane speeds was inaccurate, casting doubt on the penalties that stripped Pierre Gasly of a podium finish.
Why it matters: If successful, Alpine will regain third place and 15 championship points, demoting Red Bull's Isack Hadjar. The case highlights a significant technical failure in the sport's official timing system that affected multiple drivers during the race.
By the numbers: Pierre Gasly finished P3 on track but was demoted to P7 after two five-second penalties for exceeding the 60 km/h limit by just 0.1 km/h and 0.4 km/h. Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli won the race, his fifth straight victory of the 2026 season.
What to watch: A formal hearing is underway on Thursday to determine if the results will be overturned ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.
