Pierre Gasly is stripped of his podium finish at the Monaco Grand Prix after an FIA International Court of Appeal ruling. Multiple outlets report that Gasly is downgraded from third to a lower finishing position, while Isack Hadjar is reinstated to third.
The appeals decision follows earlier post-race penalties that affected Gasly’s finishing result. One reported reason is that Gasly is considered to have been penalised for pit-lane speeding, with two five-second penalties applied after the race. The Athletic adds that the Friday decision costs Gasly nine points, with implications for Alpine’s position in the Formula One constructors’ standings.
Different outlets focus on different consequences of the same ruling: some emphasize the change to the official Monaco result and Gasly’s lost podium, while others highlight the impact on championship points and Alpine’s constructors’ ranking. All agree that Hadjar’s classification is revised upward to third as a direct result of the appeal court decision.
