A tangled legal and regulatory mess was developing at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix on Friday after Pierre Gasly of Alpine was restored to the Monaco podium, with the FIA conceding his pit lane speeding penalties last Sunday were incorrect.
Alpine’s successful appeal, in which they demonstrated the official speed measurements were inaccurate, prompted McLaren and Red Bull to notify the FIA of their intention to appeal against Gasly’s reinstatement. Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar was knocked off the podium by his fellow Frenchman, who had initially been demoted to seventh after the finish.
