What breaking news about Pierre Gasly's Monaco podium is revealed?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Emergency edition! The most emergency emergencies of Formula 1 news. Something that I cannot believe after Monaco this has actually happened. But Pierre Gasly has got his Monaco podium. Now... Of course, fantastic news for Gasly to score lots of points, to essentially get the trophy. But the one thing that he wanted that he didn't get was to stand on the podium. So I kind of feel a little bit sad for him at the same time. True.
How did Pierre Gasly's penalties affect the race results?
Yeah, that would have been absolutely epic. Of course, you say it's the breaking news of all breaking news. And it is because, you know, who cares about Lewis Hamilton going to Ferrari or Max Verstappen potentially going to Mercedes? You know, this is affecting our predictions championship. And that is, you know, the biggest thing that matters in Formula One, of course.
What was the process behind Gasly's reinstatement to P3?
The family predictions. The family predictions. Even more important. No, less important. It's the constructors, mate. No one cares. So, look, to get you all up to speed, Gasly's been reinstated into P3. The stewards have rescinded both of the five-second penalties imposed on Pierre Gasly for the speeding in the pit lane incidents. Now, the process of this was that Because Gasly had not served his five-second penalties, it had a right to review.
What errors did the FIA make regarding Gasly's penalties?
We will talk about everybody else that had a penalty and served it shortly. But this opened up an opportunity for Alpine to question it. And fair enough, right? Because I'd seen on boards, I'd seen the telemetry and Things to show, I think, especially the second Gasly penalty where he was cruising down the pit lane at what looked like 50 kilometres an hour when the limit is 60, supposedly. And nowhere near the essential speed limit and still got a penalty for that one. So Alpine, they basically protested. They brought new evidence, which is something that they have to do in order to protest something that's been adjudicated during the race. And it was deemed admissible, which was then taken to the review hearing, which I will now tell you.
So during Thursday's right of review hearing,
How did Alpine's protest lead to Gasly's podium restoration?
Wow. What an absolutely enormous mistake that is. Did I not say on the podcast that there was a moment where Ayrton Senna crashed in like the 80s and he said that 100% the barrier must have been moved. And I said it was something similar to that where all these drivers must be doing like they know exactly where to do. They do all their practices. Everything in Formula One is to the millimeter and everything like that. And I said, surely there's an error here. And that's exactly what's happened. And no wonder, you know, they're so adamant about it, because I watched the very same clip as you did. I'm sure other people have seen it listening to this, where normally when you get a pit lane speeding penalty,
What implications does this decision have for other penalized drivers?
it's a track like a monza or something and you're locking up you're going deep on the brakes you've maybe not slowed down enough but it was quite clear that he was i think very very cautious you can see that his his pit limiter is on well before the line He's slowed down. He's being coached throughout as well. Yeah, because I think there was talk about, you know, cutting and being very careful. So for them to, of course, it's a podium for Alpine, which is massive. So, of course, they're going to do everything they could anyway. But it was quite clear that, you know, they were doing everything to make sure it happened and really, truly believed that this was a mistake. And, wow, I mean, it takes Formula One a lot to admit that they've made a mistake, and here we are, that they have.
And a result has been changed, which I'm sure a lot of people will be surprised about, because we don't tend to normally see that, particularly when it's such a big moment, like a podium finish as well. You do say it takes a lot for FOM to admit that they did wrong.
How does George Russell react to the reinstatement of Gasly?
No, it takes someone to literally go to a hearing in order for them to admit they've done wrong. Are you telling me they would have come out with this voluntarily if there hadn't been a proper team statement to say, look, we're going to appeal this?
