McLaren and Red Bull win appeal against Monaco result as Pierre Gasly loses third position.

On 7 June, having received reports from the Race Director of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, the stewards decided to impose two five-second time penalties to Pierre Gasly for pit-lane speeding during the Race in breach of Article B1.6.3a of the 2026 FIA Formula One Regulations - Section B.

On the same day, the stewards received two petitions for review under Article 14 of the FIA International Sporting Code from Alpine in respect of the aforementioned decisions of the stewards of the Grand Prix.

On 12 June, the stewards determined that there was a significant and relevant new element that was unavailable to them at the time of their decisions contained in Documents 73 and 75. They decided to rescind both 5-second time penalties imposed on Gasly, amend the race classification and recalculate the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship points.

On 16 June, McLaren and Red Bull lodged an appeal against the stewards' decisions before the ICA.

Decision of the International Court of Appeal

The Court, after having heard the parties and examined their submissions, decided to:

- declare the appeals admissible;

- grant the appeals and set aside Decisions No. 1 and 2 dated 12 June 2026 contained in Document 99 of the Stewards of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix counting towards the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship;

- declare that the two five-second time penalties imposed on Gasly, by Documents 73 and 75 stand, and exercising the powers conferred by Articles 14.12.1 and 14.12.2 of the Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, reimpose them; and

- order the competent Sporting Authority to draw, as appropriate, the consequences of this ruling, including the amendment of Documents 100 (Revised Final Race Classification) and 101 (Revised Championship Points).

The International Court of Appeal was presided over by Mr Michael Grech (Malta), and included, Mr Tomas Borec (Slovakia), Mr Luigi Fumagalli (Italy) and Mr Filippo Marchino (USA/Italy).
