\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Alpine\u2019s request to review Gasly\u2019s pair of five-second pit lane speeding penalties was accepted<\/a> after new evidence revealed a flaw in the data used to calculate the Frenchman\u2019s speed in Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n Gasly crossed the line third, but was dropped to seventh after being penalised twice for marginal pit lane speeding offences, with Red Bull\u2019s Isack Hadjar promoted onto the podium.<\/p>\n However, the case has created a difficult situation for the FIA, with Gasly not the only driver hit by a penalty during the race.<\/p>\n Piastri, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Franco Colapinto were also among those penalised for pit lane speeding, with several of those penalties served during the race rather than added to the final classification.<\/p>\n That has left Piastri convinced the outcome cannot simply be rewritten, even if Alpine\u2019s review ultimately finds Gasly should not have been penalised.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the race, it was reasonably obvious, I thought, that there was something weird going on, because maybe you have one or maybe two cars at the same race getting a pit lane speed limit penalty, but not seven or eight, or however many it was,\u201d Piastri said ahead of the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.<\/p>\n Tickets for the 2026 betr Darwin Triple Crown are on sale now. Secure your spot today. The unusually high number of penalties raised immediate questions over whether the issue was with the timing system, with Alpine later presenting evidence from Formula One Management that the pit lane measurement used to calculate Gasly\u2019s speed was inaccurate.<\/p>\n That evidence was enough for the stewards to deem Alpine\u2019s right of review admissible, allowing the case to move to a second stage ahead of a decision expected on Friday in Barcelona.<\/p>\n But Piastri said the penalties had already shaped the way the race played out, including McLaren\u2019s strategy on his side of the garage.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a shame, because it\u2019s obviously impacted the result of the race, one way or another,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cI got a penalty, and if I didn\u2019t have that penalty to serve, I wouldn\u2019t have pitted it again.\u201d<\/p>\n Piastri finished fourth in Monaco while Russell\u2019s race unravelled further after he was given an additional penalty for not serving his original sanction correctly.<\/p>\n That makes the classification difficult to revisit, with the Australian arguing that too many decisions were made in real time based on the penalties that had already been handed out.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, they can\u2019t change the result now, because so many decisions were made in the race based off the penalties that were given, but that kind of thing shouldn\u2019t be happening,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n While Alpine\u2019s review has raised the possibility of Gasly\u2019s penalties being rescinded, the process is also aimed at understanding how the sanctions were issued in the first place.<\/p>\n
