Pierre Gasly saw his podium at the Monaco Grand Prix taken away in a decision that once again raised controversy in Formula 1. The Alpine driver had achieved an important result on the streets of Monte Carlo, only to see it overturned subsequently.
Flavio Briatore, Alpine consultant, publicly expressed his suspicions regarding the steward responsible for the decision, suggesting there was a "very strong link to McLaren". The former executive director of the team's statements raised questions about possible conflicts of interest in the adjudication process.
The Alpine team principal expressed fury at the FIA's decision, considering it completely unjustified. The team showed indignation at what it considers unequal treatment and promised to fight for the reversal of the decision.
This incident marks the second time Gasly has lost a podium in Monaco, which has been generating growing frustration within the Alpine structure and raised doubts about the transparency of the FIA's disciplinary processes in motorsport.
