What happened: Oracle Red Bull Racing driver Isack Hadjar expressed disappointment over the possibility of losing his maiden Formula 1 podium following an FIA ruling in Monaco. The stewards rescinded two pit-lane speeding penalties previously issued to Alpine's Pierre Gasly after a 'Right of Review' confirmed a measurement error in the timing loops. Gasly was reinstated to third place, demoting Hadjar to fourth nearly a week after the race concluded.

Why it matters: The ruling significantly impacts the championship standings, moving Gasly up to eighth while Hadjar slips to ninth. Hadjar emphasized the sentimental value of the Monaco podium, noting that the principality was where he originally signed his Red Bull contract after a 2021 Formula Regional victory. Red Bull and McLaren have both filed notices of intent to appeal, arguing that other drivers served on-track penalties for the same technical error that cannot be undone.

What to watch: Formula 1 teams await the final verdict on the intent to appeal filed by Red Bull and McLaren. Hadjar will look to regain momentum at the next round as he continues his first full season alongside Max Verstappen.
