Hamilton criticizes pit lane penalties as Gasly seeks FIA review

Summary

Lewis Hamilton finished second in the Monaco Grand Prix, while Pierre Gasly was penalized twice for speeding in the pit lane, dropping him from third to seventh. Hamilton expressed support for Gasly, suggesting he was unfairly penalized due to the challenging pit lane geometry. Both drivers had excessive speed measurements of only 0.1 km/h and 0.4 km/h over the limit. Gasly's team has submitted evidence to the FIA for a review of his penalties, which could potentially change the race's outcome.
