The decision will decide if Alpine driver Pierre Gasly keeps third place or Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar regains it.

History

Historical Context

In June 2005 the FIA barred 14 Michelin-shod cars from the United States Grand Prix, leaving only six Bridgestone-equipped entries and letting Michael Schumacher win by 0.2 seconds. That tyre dispute sparked lawsuits and highlighted the FIA’s regulatory power. The 2024 Monaco appeal, featuring Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar, shows the same escalating reliance on the FIA’s appeal process to resolve timing-loop penalties.
