Alpine request Right of Review after Gasly missed out on podium due to penalties
Formula 1 Pierre Gasly Alpine F1 Team F1 Monaco 2026 F1 season
In a race full of penalties in Monaco Pierre Gasly fought his way from ninth place on the grid to fourth and eventually third after George Russell served a late drive through penalty. Gasly got two five second penalties for speeding in the pit lane, the second one dropped him down the order after taking the chequered flag to seventh place.
“After the result of today’s Monaco Grand Prix, BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team can confirm it has requested a Right of Review from the FIA following the penalties applied for pit lane speeding,” read a statement from Alpine published after the race.
The French driver also commented the situation, quoted by the official Formula 1 website: “Right now, I’m just heartbroken. I don’t know what to say. I don’t want to be speaking right now.”
“We all work so hard to get these moments, and then when it gets taken away from you for some things which we need to review… The team set the right speed limiter, and I put it way before the line on both times,” Gasly continued.
He also mentioned that it has been 10 years he races in F1, he has five podiums in his career and it hurts when he passed the line on the podium and then it got taken from him.
“Hopefully the team can fight it, hopefully they can appeal it, because I just feel like we’ve done everything we had to do,” he concluded.
