Story summary

Pierre Gasly was reinstated to third place in Monaco after his penalties were rescinded.
Stewards accepted Alpine’s June 12 right-of-review, finding the first pit-lane timing loop was 77 cm short of its 2,692 cm setting, inflating speeds above 60 km/h.
Red Bull Racing, McLaren and Mercedes (via Toto Wolff) lodged appeals or legal actions, opening a 96-hour review and seeking a remedy for George Russell, while several drivers lost positions.

History

Historical Context

On 12 June 2005 the FIA barred the Michelin tyres used by seven teams at the United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis over safety concerns. The teams withdrew, leaving only the Bridgestone-shod cars, and Michael Schumacher won for Ferrari while Rubens Barrichello finished second. The incident prompted the FIA to tighten timing-loop and tyre-spec regulations for future races.
