Gasly reclaims Monaco podium after FIA Review

Pierre Gasly has officially regained his Monaco Grand Prix podium after the FIA accepted Alpine’s Right of Review and rescinded both time penalties that initially dropped him to seventh. The Frenchman is restored to P3, while several rivals lose a position in the updated classification.

FIA overturns both pit‑lane speeding penalties

Gasly originally crossed the line in fourth after a chaotic Monaco race featuring two Safety Cars and a red flag. He moved up to third when George Russell served a late drive‑through penalty, securing what seemed to be Alpine’s first podium of the season.

However, Gasly was later handed two separate five‑second penalties for pit‑lane speeding, dropping him to seventh at the chequered flag. Alpine immediately filed a Right of Review, arguing that new and significant evidence proved the penalties were incorrectly applied.

During the hearing at the start of the Barcelona weekend, the FIA deemed Alpine’s evidence admissible. A second session followed, after which the stewards confirmed that both penalties were rescinded, fully restoring Gasly’s Monaco podium.

Alpine celebrates a crucial result

Alpine issued a statement welcoming the FIA’s decision, thanking both the governing body and Formula One Management for their transparency throughout the process. The team emphasised that the reinstated podium is a major boost heading into the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, where both cars aim to build on the momentum.

Gasly, who had been visibly heartbroken after losing the podium on Sunday, reacted with relief and pride in the Barcelona paddock as the news broke.

Updated classification reshuffles the midfield

With Gasly back in P3, Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar loses his podium and drops to fourth. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and the Racing Bulls pair of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad each fall one position as well.

The decision significantly reshapes the Monaco results and gives Alpine one of its most valuable finishes in recent years.
