Pierre Gasly reinstated to Monaco GP podium after FIA appeal

Alpine successfully challenged the stewards' original call, which means the penalties were not just reduced but fully overturned — a meaningful distinction that reflects how the appeal process is supposed to work when the underlying enforcement is found to be flawed. Pitlane speeding penalties catching multiple drivers at the same event always raises questions about whether the enforcement was consistent and whether the signalling was clear; the fact that stewards upheld the appeal suggests something was wrong at the source. For Gasly and Alpine, this is a genuine points swing that changes the shape of their season, not a technicality. It also serves as a reminder that post-race results in F1 can remain unsettled long after the chequered flag.
