Alpine successfully triggered a review of Pierre Gasly’s Monaco Grand Prix penalties after proving Formula One Management used an inaccurate pitlane distance to calculate car speeds. Gasly received two five-second penalties, dropping him from third to seventh, for reportedly exceeding the pitlane speed limit by a mere 0.1 and 0.4 km/h. Alpine’s crucial evidence revealed FOM’s distance calculation was flawed, leading to an overestimation of Gasly’s speed. While the FIA’s system operated correctly, it was fed compromised data. This stunning revelation means Gasly may not have been speeding at all. The stewards found this new evidence significant, prompting an immediate second hearing. The situation now opens the door for a controversial change to the Monaco results, or at minimum, forces the FIA to rectify its official timing systems to prevent such critical errors from impacting future races.
