News Official statement Outcome reported
  • FIA stewards reinstated time penalties that dropped Pierre Gasly from third to seventh in the official Monaco Grand Prix results.
  • The decision came three months after the race, following successful appeals by several teams against a later change to the result.
  • Isack Hadjar returned to third place behind winner Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton.

Pierre Gasly must give back the trophy for third place in Monaco three months after the Formula One race.

FIA stewards accepted appeals from several teams against a subsequent change to the race result and reinstated time penalties for the Alpine driver. Gasly will therefore be listed seventh in the official classification.

Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar moves back into third place behind winner Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton. Organizers acknowledged problems with timing in the pit lane, but the penalties will remain for reasons of equal treatment.
