By
Kathryn Xu
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Formula 1 stewards in Monaco incorrectly penalized Alpine driver Pierre Gasly with pit-lane speed penalties totaling 10 seconds, demoting him from P3 to P7. After Alpine's appeal was deemed admissible, the stewards reviewed and rescinded the penalties, promoting Gasly back to his original podium finish of P3. This decision also affected Red Bull's Isack Hadjar's position.
