Overview
- Race stewards handed time penalties to at least five drivers for alleged breaches of Monaco’s 60 km/h pit‑lane limit, with Pierre Gasly receiving a double penalty that moved him off the podium.
- Hours after Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix, Alpine announced it would formally challenge the result and request the FIA reopen the stewarding decisions.
- Gasly and Alpine say team telemetry shows speeds below the limit and that the penalties cost Gasly a third‑place finish he believed was earned on track.
- Drivers and teams including Mercedes and McLaren raised questions about the FIA’s method of averaging speed between measurement points and suggested a possible software or measurement error.
- The FIA has declared the result official but must decide whether to accept a review that could change classifications, reallocate points and intensify scrutiny of stewarding consistency.
