Gasly's overturned penalty, Hamilton's race engineer, Lindblad and Red Bull's engine

Gasly’s overturned penalty highlights how Formula 1’s Monaco pit-lane rules can still reverberate weeks later, while Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull pursue further review pathways. The issue traces to the Monaco Grand Prix, where five cars received pit-lane speeding penalties even though none exceeded the limit, after the pit lane was mis-measured by 77 metres and timing-loop policing was therefore based on an incorrect distance. George Russell was hit hardest, with a third-place finish changed to 12th and 15 points lost. Pierre Gasly’s third-place return is tied to Alpine refusing to serve his penalty during the race. McLaren and Red Bull have taken the case to the FIA Court of Appeal, but no hearing date is set, and Mercedes withdrew its own request. The debate is over sporting fairness and regulatory consistency.
