McLaren Boss Explains 'Double Intent' Behind FIA Hearing Into Monaco Penalty Decisions

McLaren and Red Bull argue the penalty review unfairly changed the result, while FIA officials say a decision will be issued after the closed hearing.

  • On Tuesday, the FIA International Court of Appeal meets in Paris to decide the final third-place finisher of the Monaco Grand Prix, more than two months after the event concluded.
  • A 77cm measurement error led to incorrectly awarded pit lane penalties at the Monaco Grand Prix; officials later rescinded Pierre Gasly's sanctions, prompting the current appeal.
  • Challenging the penalty reversal, McLaren and Red Bull argue that teams serving penalties during the race had no recourse to recover lost time, unlike Gasly.
  • McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said the appeal pursues a "double intent": fairness for the sport and restoring McLaren's championship standing after serving non-appealable penalties.
  • The FIA International Court Hearing is conducted without public or media access to ensure confidentiality, with a decision to be published as soon as possible.
