The aftermath of the recent Monaco Grand Prix has been thrown into uncertainty following Alpine’s successful initiation of a Right of Review process. Alpine took action after two penalties were imposed on their driver, Pierre Gasly, for exceeding the pit lane speed limit during the race. Gasly, who initially finished third, was later penalized twice for slight speed limit infractions, dropping him to seventh in the final standings.
Alpine presented new evidence, indicating issues with the timing loops used to measure car speeds in the pit lane, which were not communicated to the stewards before the race. This evidence, along with Gasly’s activation of the speed limiter before entering the pit lane, was submitted to contest the penalties. Formula One Management corroborated the inaccuracies in measuring car speeds, affecting Gasly and other drivers during the race.
The case will proceed to a second hearing where Alpine will argue for the penalties against Gasly to be overturned, potentially altering the Monaco Grand Prix results. Other drivers, including George Russell, also faced consequences for speeding violations. Russell’s failure to serve his penalty correctly led to further sanctions, raising questions about the resolution of such incidents.
