Gasly's Monaco Podium Dream Snatched by Penalties
9 Jun
Summary
- Pierre Gasly was penalized twice for pitlane speeding in Monaco.
- He knew of the penalties during the late-race red flag period.
- Alpine is appealing the FIA's decision with a Right of Review.
Pierre Gasly's potential Monaco Grand Prix podium was erased due to multiple pitlane speeding penalties. The Alpine driver received two time penalties for exceeding the 60km/h limit, despite his belief that he had activated the speed limiter correctly. Gasly stated he knew the penalties were coming during the race's red flag period, which caused significant frustration.
Despite his disappointment and claims of unfairness, Gasly sarcastically celebrated his perceived third place on the cooldown lap. His race engineer had informed him of the penalties during the red flag stoppage. Alpine has since submitted a request for a Right of Review to the FIA, aiming to overturn the penalties and restore Gasly's podium finish.
