Shortly after the conclusion of last Sunday&#8217;s Monte Carlo race, the team announced it had triggered its Right of Review regarding two penalties issued to their driver Pierre Gasly during the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Gasly was among a number of drivers sanctioned during the race for exceeding the pit lane speed limit. The Frenchman was actually penalised twice, both for speeding infractions recorded at less than 0.5kph above the 60kph limit in the Monaco pit lane, though he was incensed about it and insisted that he had activated his speed limiter well before crossing the line marking the pit lane entrance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Gasly crossed the line third on the road and believed he had secured a podium result for Alpine. However, his second five-second penalty still needed to be applied and that relegated him to seventh in the final standings. He responded furiously and described the situation as &#8220;unfair&#8221;, while his team triggered its Right of Review into the matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">For that to advance, the team was required to present new and relevant evidence that had not been available to the stewards at the time of the ruling. That is a demanding threshold which typically sees most Right of Review cases rejected but, in this instance, it has now been confirmed that Alpine have met it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In this instance, Alpine contended that, while the FIA and Formula One Management were aware prior to the race that there was a problem with the timing loops in the pit lane used to measure the speed of cars passing through, the stewards themselves had not been informed. As such, this constitutes a fresh and pertinent piece of evidence upon which they were unable to act during the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Alpine also submitted data confirming that Gasly had activated his speed limiter before the pit entry, along with a witness statement from the Frenchman revealing he had been alerted to the issue by his engineers, and had therefore adopted &#8220;a cautious approach&#8221; when entering the pit lane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Crucially, Formula One Management, as the sport&#8217;s official timekeepers, furnished evidence that the distance between the timing loops used to calculate car speeds was inaccurate, resulting in Gasly&#8217;s speed being overestimated \u2014 along with that of several other drivers \u2014 throughout the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"Factbox_factbox-container__hSMOa\" id=\"factbox\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Entering Factbox content\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"37253252\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"factbox\" data-testid=\"factbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 615px, (max-width: 810px) 810px, 1168px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37253243.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_GettyImages-2264832158.jpg\" srcset=\"&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37253243.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n615\/0_GettyImages-2264832158.jpg 615w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37253243.ece\/ALTERNATES\/n810\/0_GettyImages-2264832158.jpg 810w,&#10;        https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37253243.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1168v\/0_GettyImages-2264832158.jpg 1168w&#10;    \"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"HeadingThree_heading-three__PBHLs Factbox_heading-three__NXU52 __className_f6e792\">Experience F1 live with Gullivers Travel<\/h3>\n<div class=\"Factbox_content__xdMV8\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Big moments.

Should they succeed, the outcome of the Monaco race could be revised \u2014 potentially triggering fury amongst other teams who received comparable penalties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Alongside Gasly, George Russell was among those to face serious consequences stemming from the speeding penalty. Russell failed to correctly serve his five-second penalty and was subsequently handed a drive-through, which ultimately saw him fall outside the points. Just how that potential situation will be resolved remains, for the time being, unclear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"AffiliateContentsEmbed_affiliate-contents-container__oTiet\" data-testid=\"affiliate-contents-embed\">\n<div data-testid=\"affiliate-content\" class=\"AffiliateContent_affiliate-content-container__10EX_ affiliate-content\">\n<p>Sky Sports, HBO Max, Netflix and Disney+ with Ultimate TV package<\/p>\n<div class=\"AffiliateDisclaimer_affiliate-disclaimer__dG5ST\">\n<div class=\"AffiliateDisclaimer_affiliate-text__8nmDa\">This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
