Alpine, owned by Renault, formally requested a review of the stewards' decisions that penalised Pierre Gasly at the Monaco Grand Prix held on June 7, 2026 [1, 2]. Gasly initially finished third but was demoted to seventh after receiving two five-second penalties for exceeding the pit lane speed limit [1, 2].
The penalties were issued because Gasly was recorded driving at 60.1 and 60.4 kph where the speed limit was 60 kph [1, 2]. Despite the marginal overages, the stewards applied a five-second penalty for each offence, dropping him four places in the final classification [1, 2].
Gasly expressed deep disappointment after the incident, saying, "I am absolutely heartbroken by the penalties and to have a lifelong dream of a Monaco podium taken away from me for reasons which I just cannot comprehend. I know I was under the pit lane speed limit and activated it much before the line. We also have margin for these occurrences to not go over, so I just hope they can review it properly and give us back the result all of us at the team deserve" [1].
The FIA confirmed receipt of Alpine's Petition for Review on June 8, ahead of a scheduled virtual hearing on Thursday, June 9, at 1300 local time [1, 2]. The hearing will first determine if there is a significant new element unavailable when the original decision was made. If so, a second stage hearing will follow [1, 2].
The Monaco Grand Prix weekend ended with Gasly losing a hard-fought podium. Alpine hopes the review will reinstate his original third-place finish [1, 2]. The next Formula One race is the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in Spain, scheduled for the weekend after the hearing on June 9, 2026 [1, 2].
