McLaren and Red Bull are appealing the Monaco Grand Prix result at the FIA International Court of Appeal, citing a timing loop error that invalidated pitlane speed penalties. The appeal stems from the rescission of Pierre Gasly's penalty, which restored his podium finish and demoted Oscar Piastri and Isack Hadjar. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella stated the team pursues the case with a "double intent": first, to address broader concerns regarding fairness and the integrity of the sport, and second, to protect their own championship interests.

Stella emphasized that serving an unappealable penalty cost the team valuable points. The hearing, taking place on Tuesday, could have lasting implications for future race procedures.
