Gasly’s Trophy Fight and the Penalty Fallout

Pierre Gasly finally reclaimed his Monaco podium trophy after a wild twist: two five-second pit lane penalties dropped him from third to seventh, but Alpine proved a timing loop error, and stewards restored his spot. With Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar having stood on the podium initially, the trophy was shipped to Gasly, who celebrated with a proud photo. But the drama isn’t over—Piastri and Russell also faced similar penalties that impacted race strategy, and Red Bull and McLaren are pushing back, arguing it’s unfair that their drivers suffered real-time consequences while Gasly’s penalty was reversed post-race. Mercedes initially challenged too but withdrew, saying they’ve engaged with FOTA and are now focused on future improvements. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
