Alpine's Pierre Gasly stripped of Monaco podium after appeal by McLaren and Red Bull
Pierre Gasly was demoted from third to seventh in the Monaco Grand Prix after McLaren and Red Bull successfully appealed his penalties.
The Monaco Grand Prix was won by Kimi Antonelli, with Lewis Hamilton second and Pierre Gasly crossing the line in third. Immediately after the finish, Gasly received two five-second penalties for supposed pit-lane speeding, dropping him to seventh. Alpine later presented new evidence and had the penalties annulled in a right-to-review hearing.
McLaren and Red Bull appealed that decision, and the appeal succeeded, restoring the penalties. Consequently, Isack Hadjar reclaimed third place, Oscar Piastri moved to fourth, and the positions of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad shifted to fifth and sixth, leaving Gasly in seventh.
Why it matters
The reversal changes championship points and highlights the impact of post-race appeals on driver standings.
