Pierre Gasly is reinstated to third place at the Monaco Grand Prix after Formula One stewards rescind two five-second penalties for pit-lane speeding. Multiple outlets report that Gasly originally crossed the finish line third but was demoted to seventh once the penalties were applied following last Sunday’s race. Alpine files an appeal that leads officials to review the basis for the sanction. The Guardian and BBC say the penalties are removed after stewards determine there was an error related to timekeeping or measurements used to assess the pit-lane speeding. The Guardian adds that F1 acknowledges a mistake with its measurements, described as a timekeeping blunder. ABC Australia, Sky Sports, and Yahoo Sports report that F1 accepts the corrected assessment and updates the classification accordingly. With the penalties overturned, Gasly regains his podium finish, which he had lost after the original ruling. Other coverage notes the result returns him to his first podium since Brazil 2024, although the reinstatement is primarily attributed to the rescinded speeding penalties.
