FIA stewards overturn Pierre Gasly’s Monaco penalties after a Right of Review in Barcelona, restoring the Alpine driver to third place and correcting the race classification.
Gasly originally received two five-second penalties for pit-lane speeding, dropping him from third to seventh. The sanctions are now rescinded after fresh evidence and procedural reassessment.
The review found a discrepancy in the first pit-lane speed zone length. It was recorded as 2,692 cm, but later measured at 2,615 cm, a 77 cm difference that skewed speed calculations.
Because both alleged infringements occurred within that mismeasured zone, the stewards canceled each penalty. Gasly returns to the podium, and the final order is updated accordingly.
Stewards rescind both pit-lane speeding penalties after confirming a mismeasured speed zone in Monaco.
Isack Hadjar moves to fourth, Oscar Piastri to fifth, Liam Lawson to sixth, and Arvid Lindblad to seventh. The shuffle follows Gasly’s reinstatement to third.
Alpine welcomes the decision and thanks the FIA and Formula One Management for transparency. The team now turns to the Barcelona-Catalunya weekend, intent on building momentum.
The case underlines the impact of measurement precision in enforcement. Monaco’s tight confines amplify marginal errors, so reliable pit-lane zone data is essential to fair competition.
A 77 cm error in pit-lane zone length proved decisive in overturning the penalties.
Alpine’s challenge followed a formal Right of Review process, and the outcome reverses the sporting damage from Monaco. It also aligns with the FIA’s commitment to evidence-led corrections.
The reinstated result bolsters Alpine’s points haul and provides a platform for Spain. For broader team context, see the Alpine team’s review of the Grand Prix and how the squad is developing.
Gasly’s restored P3 materially boosts Alpine’s championship position ahead of Barcelona.
The incident will keep scrutiny on penalty protocols to prevent recurrences. For background on the earlier sanctioning, revisit the Gasly penalty context and Piastri’s adjusted outcome after Monaco.
