The Monaco Grand Prix controversy is far from over. Alpine, Red Bull, and McLaren have officially taken the dispute over Pierre Gasly's pit lane penalties to the FIA International Court of Appeal. Both teams are challenging the decision to overturn the two pit lane speeding penalties Gasly received during the race, which ultimately restored the Frenchman to third following Alpine's successful right of review.
Gasly had originally been handed separate five-second sanctions after being recorded at 60.1km/h and 60.4km/h against the 60km/h limit during the June 7 race. The penalties dropped the Alpine driver from third to seventh in the provisional classification before the team challenged the measurements behind the infringements.
Alpine lodged two petitions for a right of review following the race, with stewards subsequently determining there was new evidence that had not been available when the original penalties were issued. The case centred on the distance used by Formula One Management to calculate Gasly's speed through the pit lane, which was later found to have been measured incorrectly. FOM acknowledged during the review process that the figure had resulted in Gasly's speed being overstated.
Both five-second penalties were subsequently rescinded on June 12, forcing the race classification and championship points to be amended. Gasly was reinstated to third, while Isack Hadjar from Red Bull dropped to fourth and Oscar Piastri from McLaren dropped back to fifth. Liam Lawson was also shuffled down to sixth and Arvid Lindblad to seventh as a consequence of Gasly's return to the podium.
The outcome prompted McLaren and Red Bull to take the matter further, with both teams lodging appeals with the FIA on June 16. The governing body has now confirmed the appeals will be heard in Paris on Tuesday, August 25, two days after the Dutch Grand Prix. Their appeals are specifically against Decisions No. 1 and No. 2 contained in Document 99, which removed the two penalties originally imposed on Gasly.
A successful appeal could therefore change the Monaco result for a second time and alter the points awarded to both teams and their drivers. Several competitors were penalised for pit lane speeding during the Monaco race, including Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Franco Colapinto, and Piastri. Mercedes also considered its options after Russell was caught up in the pit lane speeding controversy but ultimately elected not to pursue further action.
The International Court of Appeal hearing will be closed to the public and media for confidentiality reasons, with attendance restricted to authorised parties. The FIA said its decision will be published as soon as possible following the hearing.
