Pierre Gasly has finally received his trophy from Red Bull for finishing third at the Monaco Grand Prix, following Alpine's successful appeal into his pitlane speeding penalties during the race. The Frenchman finished third on track but was originally demoted to seventh after receiving 10 seconds in penalties. However, he was reinstated to third position after it emerged an error from Formula One Management was responsible for several drivers including Gasly being given pitlane speeding penalties in the race.
Gasly, unlike drivers including George Russell and Oscar Piastri, served his penalty after the race, allowing for his penalty to be wiped out. Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar was demoted from a podium position as a result and his team kept hold of the trophy as they
lodged a notification of appeal with the FIA International Court of Appeal.
Pierre Gasly receives P3 trophy from Red Bull
On Thursday night, Gasly took to Instagram to reveal that he had received his P3 trophy from the Monaco Grand Prix, 13 days on from the announcement that Alpine's appeal had been successful.
Gasly shared the news alongside photos of him holding the trophy, placing it next to his helmet and lying in bed with it. In his caption he wrote: "Monaco trophy found its way home!! happyyyy day, happy life!!"
For Gasly it was his first podium since finishing third at the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix and the sixth of his Formula One career which has spanned 184 starts. Gasly has been one of the stars of the 2026 season, scoring points in every race he has finished and is eighth in the standings with 41 points total.
McLaren and Red Bull await date for appeal hearing
The drama from the Monaco Grand Prix lingers on despite Gasly receiving his P3 trophy. Red Bull and McLaren are awaiting a date for their International Court of Appeal (ICA) hearing. Both teams appealed against the decision to rescind Gasly's penalty.
McLaren driver Piastri was demoted from fourth to fifth and served his pitlane speeding penalty during the race. Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said that the team would appeal based on a
"matter of principle", as Hadjar lost his first podium finish with the team.
Once an appeal is made to the ICA, a team then has 15 days to formally submit its grounds for appeals. When that is done, the FIA have 15 days to submit its response and at least another 15 days from the submission of a response to a hearing.
Mercedes lodged a Right of Review appeal aimed at lifting Russell's penalties rather than looking into the decision based on Gasly. However, they decided to withdraw their request for a Right of Review, stating that further pursuit of the review would "not serve our team or the sport".
