Alpine seek Right of Review after Gasly loses Monaco podium

It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch a performance like this unravel in the stewards' office. Pierre Gasly drove a beautiful race in Monaco, fighting his way from ninth on the grid to cross the line in third place. But just after the celebration, the dream was snatched away by a pair of pit lane speeding penalties, handing him a combined 10-second sanction that dropped him to seventh.

Now, the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team is taking the fight to the FIA, formally requesting a Right of Review. For Gasly, the pain is visceral. He insists that he engaged the speed limiter well before the line both times, and he is clearly struggling to process how a result secured in front of the fans could disappear so quickly. As he put it, "we all work so hard to get these moments, and then when it gets taken away from you... I don't really know what to say."

Whether or not the appeal gains any traction, it remains a bitter pill for the Frenchman. He is holding onto the hope that Alpine can successfully challenge the decision, but for now, a day that should have been defined by a podium finish is instead defined by a trip to the stewards.
