The outcome of the FIA International Court of Appeal case regarding Pierre Gasly's Monaco Grand Prix penalties has also had an impact on the Constructors' Championship standings, with Red Bull recovering points at Alpine's expense.
The Monaco Grand Prix result has changed once again, several months after the race, following the latest ruling from the FIA International Court of Appeal. The case centred on Pierre Gasly, who had originally been demoted from third to seventh after receiving two five-second penalties for pit-lane speeding.
Alpine later succeeded in having those sanctions removed through a Right of Review, restoring Gasly to the podium, but Red Bull and McLaren subsequently appealed that decision. The Court has now sided with the two teams, reinstating the penalties and forcing the Monaco classification - and the championship points awarded from it - to be revised once more.
The FIA ruling has had its biggest impact on the battle between Alpine and Racing Bulls, with a 13-point swing between the two teams. Alpine loses nine points as a result of Gasly's revised Monaco result, while Racing Bulls gains four through Lawson and Lindblad, leaving the two outfits separated by 16 points in the Constructors' Championship.
McLaren also benefits from the amended classification, adding two points to its tally and reducing its deficit to Ferrari. The Woking-based team now sits 83 points behind the Scuderia, although the order at the front of the championship remains unchanged.

What about the Drivers' standings?

While the Constructors' Championship order remains unchanged following the revised Monaco Grand Prix result, the Drivers' standings have been reshaped further down the field. Pierre Gasly is the biggest loser from the ICA ruling, surrendering nine points after his two five-second penalties were reinstated, while several of his rivals benefit from the amended classification.
Gasly remains 10th in the championship on 35 points, but is now 16 behind Liam Lawson, who gains two points and moves to 51. Arvid Lindblad also receives two additional points and now sits just 10 behind the Alpine driver, while Oscar Piastri's total rises to 106. Isack Hadjar, meanwhile, strengthens his hold on eighth place with 71 points, giving him a 20-point cushion over Lawson.

There is no change among the leading six drivers. Kimi Antonelli remains at the top of the championship on 242 points, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell tied on 183 behind him. Lando Norris stays fourth on 159, four points ahead of Charles Leclerc, while Max Verstappen remains sixth with 112 points. The gaps at the front are therefore exactly the same as they were following the Dutch Grand Prix.
