FIA stewards restore Gasly's Monaco GP podium after overturning pitlane speed penalties

Pierre Gasly has been reinstated to third place in the Monaco Grand Prix after the FIA stewards overturned his two pitlane speeding penalties at a right of review hearing on Thursday, June 11, 2026, restoring the Alpine driver’s podium finish.

Alpine petitioned for the review under two separate submissions — Documents 73 and 75 — and the stewards determined that a significant and relevant new element existed that had been unavailable to them at the time of the original decisions. That finding triggered a full Part 2 hearing, convened at 13:20 CEST, with representatives from Alpine, the FIA, and Formula One Management attending in their capacity as Official Timekeeping Supplier.

The new evidence centred on discrepancies in the calculation of distance between timing loops in the first timing sector of the pitlane. Alpine’s submission included a presentation from the Official Timekeeper on those discrepancies, the team’s own telemetry review, comparative telemetry data from Mercedes and Ferrari, and a written statement from Gasly himself. The team’s formal written package also contained a chronology of events and a memo from an electronics meeting held on June 5, 2026.

The stewards heard both petitions concurrently, with the agreement of all parties. Under Article B1.6.3a of the FIA F1 Regulations, a speed limit of 80 km/h applies in the pitlane throughout a competition, with stewards empowered to impose penalties ranging from a five-second time penalty to a stop-and-go during a Total Timed Classification Session.

With the penalties rescinded, Gasly moves back onto the Monaco podium in the final classified results — a significant points recovery for Alpine in the Constructors’ Championship.
