The FIA has scheduled a Right of Review hearing to consider Alpine’s challenge to the penalties handed to Pierre Gasly for the Monaco Grand Prix.

Alpine will meet the stewards by video conference on Thursday to present its case.
The team is seeking to overturn two five-second time penalties assessed to Gasly for exceeding the pit lane speed limit during Sunday’s race. Those penalties were applied after the race, adding a total of 10 seconds to his race time and demoting him from third to seventh in the official classification.
During the Monaco race several drivers were penalised for pit lane speeding, including Mercedes’ George Russell, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton and Gasly’s teammate Franco Colapinto. Some drivers served their penalties during the race; others, like Gasly, received them after the race had finished.
Alpine advised Gasly before his first pit stop that Russell had already been penalised for speeding. After Gasly picked up the first penalty the team warned him to take particular care while passing through the pit lane, but he subsequently received a second penalty — a situation no other driver incurred.
The most recent successful Right of Review before this was mounted by Williams, which had a penalty decision against Carlos Sainz Jnr overturned. In that instance, however, Sainz had already served his penalty during the race, so the result could not be changed.
