Alpine driver Pierre Gasly has been restored to third place in the race standings for the Monaco Grand Prix.

The FIA, in fact, upheld the appeal and overturned the speeding penalty imposed on the French driver.

The Monaco Grand Prix stewards met with representatives from Alpine and the FIA ​​ahead of the Catalan Grand Prix in Barcelona, ​​after Alpina challenged the decision to give Gasly two five-second penalties that dropped him from third to seventh place.

Alpina presented evidence that the judges agreed was a "significant and relevant new element", and Gasly pushed Red Bull's Isak Hajjar off the podium.

McLaren driver Oscar Piastre thus fell to fifth place, and the Racing Bull duo of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad to sixth and seventh respectively.

Gasly was one of five drivers to receive five-second speeding penalties at the Monaco Grand Prix, alongside Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Piastre and Franco Colapinto.

The Formula 1 championship continues on Sunday in Barcelona.
