The first stage of Alpine's Right of Review hearing on Thursday revealed that the unusually high number of pitlane speeding penalties during the Monaco Grand Prix was in fact caused by an issue with the official timing system provided by Formula One Management.
Five drivers were penalised for pitlane speeding during the race, with Pierre Gasly receiving two separate five-second penalties that ultimately cost him a podium finish. Having crossed the line third, the Frenchman was demoted to seventh in the final classification, prompting Alpine to request a Right of Review relating to his penalties.
