Pierre Gasly has had his podium at the Monaco Grand Prix restored after Alpine won a right of review.
A hearing from the stewards determined that both of Gasly’s five-second penalties be removed, promoting him to the podium spots and demoting Isack Hadjar.
Gasly crossed the line third, but the application of a second five-second penalty demoted him to seventh. However, Alpine submitted a right of review questioning the validity of Gasly’s penalties which came as a result of speeding in the pit lane.
Gasly was clocked at going 60.1 km/h, 0.1 km/h over the limit, on his first stop followed by 60.4 km/h on his second, handing him 10 seconds’ worth of penalties from the stewards.
However, evidence provided by F1’s timekeeper FOM admitted there had been an error with the distance measurement in the pit lane where speeds are calculated. The part in question was found to be 77 cm shorter than expected, causing the average speed to be miscalculated.
