Pierre Gasly Gets Monaco Podium Back
Pierre Gasly’s fight for a Monaco Grand Prix podium has finally ended with the result he wanted.
The FIA has rescinded the two five-second penalties handed to the Alpine driver during the race, restoring Gasly to third place in the final classification.
Gasly originally crossed the finish line in third but was dropped to seventh after being penalized twice for pit lane speeding.
The decision sparked frustration from both Gasly and Alpine, with the team immediately requesting a Right of Review.
Days later, that challenge has paid off.
Formula 1 confirmed that the stewards had removed both penalties, officially reinstating Gasly to P3 and giving Alpine back its podium finish.
Following the decision, Alpine released a statement welcoming the outcome.
“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.”
The team added that the stewards had rescinded both penalties imposed on Car No. 10, restoring the team’s third-place finish.
For Gasly, the decision is a major moment after describing himself as “heartbroken” and feeling “robbed” in the immediate aftermath of the race.
Gasly later celebrated the decision on social media, sharing his relief after several emotional days.
“WE GOT IT BACK!! P3 in Monaco!!” he wrote.
“Been a rollercoaster of emotions the last few days, weird celebrations, but most importantly, incredibly happy we got our result back.”
The Frenchman also thanked Alpine, the FIA and Formula 1 for their support throughout the review process.
“Huge thanks to my amazing team and all the people who supported us!! Thanks FIA & F1 for the transparency of the situation. One to remember!”
Now, the podium he earned on track officially belongs to him once again.
