Gasly loses Monaco third place on appeal
An FIA appeals ruling restored pit-lane penalties, dropping Pierre Gasly from Monaco’s podium and returning third place to Isack Hadjar.
What happened
The FIA International Court of Appeal allowed challenges from Red Bull and McLaren to an earlier decision that had removed Gasly’s pit-lane sanctions. The restored penalties changed the Monaco result: the Alpine driver fell from third to seventh, while Hadjar took the final podium place.
