Pierre Gasly loses Monaco Grand Prix podium after McLaren, Red Bull appeals
Pierre Gasly is in his fourth full season with Alpine in 2026
Alpine driver Pierre Gasly has been stripped of his third-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix following successful appeals by the McLaren and Red Bull teams.
The news sees Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar reinstated to the podium, with Gasly seventh in the final classification.
Pierre Gasly stripped of Monaco Grand Prix result
Gasly originally finished third on the road in Monaco on June 7, but was demoted to seventh after a post-race time penalty was applied.
With a problem identified with the FOM-administered timing loops in the pit lane, Gasly – who, unlike a number of other drivers penalised for speeding, did not serve his penalty during the race – regained third following a successful Right of Review by the Alpine team.

McLaren and Red Bull went on to lodge appeals to the FIA’s International Court of Appeal, with a hearing taking place following last month’s Dutch Grand Prix.
Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, it has been announced that Gasly has lost his podium finish with Hadjar reinstated to third.
PlanetF1.com understands that Alpine is assessing all options in response to the verdict.
An Alpine statement read: “The team expresses its disappointment and frustration with the outcome reached by the FIA International Court of Appeal relating to the result of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix.
“While we disagree with the decision, and still fully maintain that Car #10 did not exceed the Pit Lane speed limit at any point during the race, the team acknowledges the decision of the judging panel from the recent hearing in Paris.
“While the result is not what we had hoped for, as we feel that we have been unjustly punished, the team is firmly focused on continuing to improve its performance on track and remains in a close and very competitive Championship fight.
“This outcome will not deter the team’s efforts and motivation in achieving its objectives by the end of the season.”
