Pierre Gasly says losing what could have been a podium finish in last Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix was the hardest sporting moment of his Formula 1 career. The Frenchman crossed the finish line third in the Principality, later describing it as one of his strongest-ever performances.
Yet he was immediately demoted to seventh due to two five-second penalties for pitlane speeding. The added time dropped him behind Isack Hadjar, Oscar Piastri and both Racing Bulls drivers. Gasly and Alpine insist he did not actually exceed the pitlane speed limit, based on their own data, and the team has requested a Right of Review from the FIA in an attempt to overturn the penalties.
