Oscar Piastri stated that McLaren is appealing the Monaco Grand Prix result, fearing a 'tricky precedent' after Alpine's Pierre Gasly was reinstated to the podium following a successful appeal regarding his speeding penalties. Gasly's penalty was initially a 10-second addition to his time, dropping him from third to seventh, but the appeal challenged the accuracy of the pit lane distance measurement. McLaren and Red Bull are both protesting the race classification through the FIA International Court of Appeal, which has not yet announced a hearing date. Piastri voiced concerns over the implications for future penalties and the clarity of race results.
