Pierre Gasly has reclaimed his third-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix after the FIA overturned two pitlane speeding penalties imposed on the Alpine driver. The stewards reinstated Gasly's podium position following a successful right of review hearing, restoring the Frenchman's best result of the 2026 season.

The controversy centered on the first timing zone at Monaco's pit entry, where Alpine demonstrated a measurement discrepancy of 77cm between the distance used by official timekeepers (2692cm) and the actual shortest path identified through post-event LIDAR scans (2615cm). This error affected not only Gasly but also five other drivers who were allegedly clocked at 60.1km/h during the race.

Alpine presented detailed evidence including telemetry data and a trundle wheel survey conducted immediately after the race, challenging the accuracy of the speed calculations. The FIA stewards accepted this new evidence as significant and relevant, leading to the penalty rescission. Six drivers initially faced potential sanctions, though only Gasly's were overturned in this hearing.

The decision highlights ongoing tensions between teams and officials over technical regulations, particularly regarding measurement accuracy in Formula 1's increasingly precise timing systems. Monaco's unique pit lane layout, combined with changed barriers from 2025, created this unprecedented situation that cost Gasly his original podium celebration.
