FIA to Hear McLaren and Red Bull's Monaco GP Appeal Next Week
The FIA will hear the teams’ challenge after officials admitted Monaco’s pit-lane speed limit was miscalculated.
- On Tuesday, August 25, 2026, the FIA International Court of Appeal will convene in Paris to hear McLaren and Red Bull's challenges against the decision to overturn Alpine driver Pierre Gasly's pit-lane speeding penalty at the Monaco Grand Prix.
- Alpine successfully argued that FOM miscalculated pit-lane distance measurements, prompting stewards to rescind Gasly's penalties and reinstate his third-place finish at Monaco.
- McLaren contends the penalty removal creates sporting inequity, as other competitors including Oscar Piastri and George Russell served their penalties during the race, negatively impacting their final standings.
- Mercedes withdrew its own appeal after Russell dropped to 12th in final results, while Piastri warned the situation sets a "tricky precedent" regarding regulatory consistency.
- The closed-door hearing follows the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, with the FIA to publish its decision as soon as possible after the August 25 proceedings in Paris.
