The FIA's International Court of Appeal will hear Red Bull and McLaren's challenge to Pierre Gasly's Monaco podium reinstatement on August 25 in Paris — but unusually, behind closed doors. Gasly reclaimed third after Alpine overturned his pitlane speeding penalty when Formula One Management admitted measurement errors. Red Bull, whose driver Isack Hadjar had originally inherited the spot, and McLaren, whose Oscar Piastri also served a speeding penalty in Monaco, both protested. FIA rules require hearings to be public unless "confidentiality of data" is at stake. The parties requested the closed session, likely to protect technical details about how pitlane speeds are measured and calculated. The FIA says it will rule "as soon as possible" rather than the typical three-week window. The outcome could reshape how teams approach pitlane limits — and whether Gasly keeps the podium that's already back on his résumé.
