The recent Monaco Grand Prix’s outcome faces new uncertainty as Alpine progresses with its Right of Review application following penalties imposed on Pierre Gasly for speeding in the pit lane during the race. Gasly, penalized twice for minor speed infractions, contested the penalties, claiming he activated his speed limiter before entering the pit lane.
Initially finishing third on the track, Gasly’s second penalty dropped him to seventh in the final standings, sparking his frustration at the perceived unfairness. Alpine’s successful advancement in the Right of Review process required presenting new evidence not available to the stewards during the initial ruling.
Alpine argued that the stewards were unaware of timing loop issues affecting speed measurements in the pit lane, providing a crucial piece of evidence overlooked during the Grand Prix. Additional data confirmed Gasly’s adherence to speed limits before pit entry, supported by witness statements and evidence of inaccurate timing loop distances affecting speed calculations for Gasly and other drivers.
The case will progress to a second hearing where Alpine will seek to overturn Gasly’s penalties. If successful, the Monaco race outcome may be revised, potentially sparking reactions from other penalized teams. George Russell, similarly penalized for speeding, faces uncertainty regarding the resolution of his penalties.
