Guenther Steiner criticizes FIA for reinstating Pierre Gasly's podium finish

Guenther Steiner has condemned the FIA’s decision to reinstate Pierre Gasly’s podium from the Monaco Grand Prix, labeling it a "debacle". The ruling came after Alpine appealed a pitlane speeding penalty that initially relegated Gasly from third to seventh. The FIA acknowledged new evidence presented by Alpine that was unavailable during the race, which led to Gasly’s reinstatement. Steiner expressed concerns that this decision undermines regulatory consistency in Formula 1, as other drivers who served their penalties during the race cannot have their positions adjusted retroactively. He warned this situation creates complications for the integrity of the sport's penalties.
