FIA confirms date for Alpine’s bid to reclaim Pierre Gasly’s lost Monaco Podium

The FIA have officially confirmed a date for Alpine's Right of Review request following Pierre Gasly's lost Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix Podium.

The FIA have officially confirmed a date for Alpine’s Right of Review request following Pierre Gasly’s lost Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix Podium.

The Enstone squad will report to the Sports governing body on Thursday, 11th June at 12 pm CEST. Here, Alpine will seek to overturn Gasly’s penalties by providing new information that the stewards had not seen.

During Sunday’s race in the Principality, pit-lane speeding offences caught out drivers throughout the field. However, Gasly suffered more than his rivals, receiving two separate five-second penalties.

Despite a hard-fought race, where Gasly overtook his fellow countryman, Isack Hadjar, for a podium finish, the combined 10-second penalty dropped him down to seventh.

The 30-year-old described the post-race penalty as “heartbreaking,” feeling he was snubbed of what could have been a career-defining podium. Importantly, Frenchman remained adamant that he had not crossed the pit-lane speed limit of 60km/h on either occasion. Forcing Alpine’s hand into a Right of Review.

I’m heartbroken right now… no words can describe the pain of losing a podium in Formula 1 and in the streets Monaco, I’m devastated. We crossed the finish line in 3rd today, and thats all I want to remember. I’ve dreamed about that podium thousands times, we all working very… pic.twitter.com/MVwA4BfhmR

The process is potentially set to be a two-part hearing, where the team must provide new information and/or evidence to support their claims. Only if the first part of the hearing is successful will the team move to the next stage.

The final part of the hearing will be the FIA’s formal decision on overturning the penalties in Monaco. A successful appeal on one penalty would lift Gasly to fifth place. But if the team can successfully argue to void both infringements, Alpine will inherit its first podium of the season.

Alpine may rely on the pit-lane length to support its argument. Video footage of Alpine team personnel measuring the pit lane suggests that the length affected speed-sensor calculations. Measurements officials rely on to determine drivers’ pit-lane speeds.
