What happened: The FIA has accepted Alpine's petition for a "Right of Review" regarding pit lane speeding penalties from the Monaco Grand Prix. Formula One Management (FOM) admitted that inaccurate distance measurements likely led to inflated speed calculations during the race.
Why it matters: If the penalties are annulled, Alpine could see their lead driver reinstated to a third-place finish. The ruling sets a significant precedent, as it calls into question similar penalties handed to multiple drivers during the same event.
By the numbers: Gasly was penalized for exceeding the 60 km/h limit by 0.1 km/h and 0.4 km/h. Rescinding the 10-second total would elevate Alpine from 7th to 3rd in the race classification.
What to watch: A second hearing is currently underway to determine the final race classification and potential points redistribution.
