McLaren has filed a notification of appeal with the FIA regarding Pierre Gasly's reinstated P3 finish in the Monaco Grand Prix. Gasly originally crossed the line in third but was demoted to seventh due to two five-second penalties for pit lane speeding. Following a Right of Review by Alpine, which presented new evidence, Gasly was reinstated. McLaren argues that the reversal raises issues of sporting fairness and regulatory consistency, stating that their appeal does not target any competitor but aims to ensure equitable enforcement of regulations. They intend to work with the FIA to address these concerns moving forward.
