Pierre Gasly maintains he never exceeded Monaco's 60km/h pitlane speed limit despite receiving two penalties that cost him a podium finish. Alpine has filed for a Right of Review, arguing the timing system flagged multiple drivers incorrectly. Gasly's car was restricted to 59.5km/h, and telemetry data could support their case. The hearing takes place Thursday at 1pm CET.

The controversy involves six drivers total, including championship contenders Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Alpine team boss Steve Nielsen expressed confusion over the penalties, noting such a high number typically occurs across an entire season rather than one race. The timing system measures checkpoint-to-checkpoint travel time rather than actual speed, creating ambiguity about what constitutes speeding violations.

Drivers may have inadvertently shortened their pitlane route by cutting across white lines, triggering false positives. Alpine personnel aren't certain where Gasly's alleged infringement occurred. The regulations don't specify timing requirements between checkpoints, leaving room for interpretation about whether rules were actually broken.

If stewards accept Alpine's evidence, the precedent could require revisiting all Monaco penalties. Russell's double penalty particularly complicates potential reinstatements, as he also failed to serve his original sanction correctly. The hearing's outcome will test F1's approach to technical regulations and measurement accuracy.
