Pierre Gasly gets back podium for F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2026

The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has completed its investigation of Alpine’s Right of Review request made post the completion of last weekend’s F1 Monaco Grand Prix 2026. The result sees Pierre Gasly get back his third-place podium following a successful appeal by the French outfit.

Gasly had received two five-second time penalties for speeding in the pit lane, and while he crossed the line third on track, following the application of the penalties, he was demoted to seventh.

Alpine challenged the decision, stating that they had evidence proving that the “distance used in calculating the F1 Official Timing (and hence the pit lane speed) was inaccurate and overestimated the speed of Car 10”. With Gasly getting the penalty, Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar picked up third place behind race winner Kimi Antonelli and runner-up Lewis Hamilton.

Post investigation, the FIA has announced that it is rescinding his penalties and reinstating Gasly’s podium. This marks Alpine’s first podium of the season and pushes Hadjar down to fourth, while Oscar Piastri, Liam Lawson, and Arvid Lindblad have also dropped a place to fifth, sixth, and seventh, respectively.

The podium also ensures Alpine have picked up a big haul of points and are now only 19 points behind fourth-placed Red Bull in the Constructors’ Standings.

Alpine released the following statement on the matter:

“We welcome the decision made by the FIA to deem our Right of Review as admissible following the final classification of last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix. As a result, the Stewards have rescinded the two five-second penalties imposed on Car #10, which reinstates the team’s third place finish. We would like to thank the FIA and Formula One Management for its transparency and co-operation throughout the Right of Review process and for reaching this decision. The team’s focus is now very much on this weekend’s Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix and striving for the best possible result with both of its cars.”

With the FIA overturning the penalties, the top-ten finish in Monaco is as follows:

1. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)
2. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)
3. Pierre Gasly (Alpine)
4. Isack Hadjar (Red Bull)
5. Oscar Piastri (McLaren)
6. Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls)
7. Arvid Lindblad (Racing Bulls)
8. Alex Albon (Williams Racing)
9. Esteban Ocon (Haas)
10. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)
