ALPINE APPEALED COLAPINTO'S MONACO PENALTY with EVIDENCE that changed everything!!
Monaco ended with Franco Colapinto in fourteenth place and with a penalty that should never have been given. At least that's what Alpin says. The team filed a Right of Review with the FIA challenging the pit lane penalties for both drivers—and the mechanics went out into the pit lane with a measuring tape after the race. There's something in the car's data that can change everything. At the same time, Isac Hadyar's podium finish was nearly overturned due to illegal work during the red flag—and the stewards' decision left an uncomfortable question unanswered.
What you'll find:
What exactly Alpin's official statement says about the appeal and why it's a serious legal process within the regulations
Why Colapinto's car data contradicts what the FIA measured in the pit lane
What Alpin's mechanics did with a measuring tape in the pit lane after the race and what they were looking for
How the FIA's speed measurement system works and why it can register incorrectly when the pit lane length is unusual
What would happen in Monaco qualifying if the appeal is successful — who moves up and who moves down
Why Gaslí crossed the finish line third, received a ten-second penalty, and finished seventh — and how that directly benefits or hurts Franco
Hadyar's situation: what work Red Bull did on the car during the 45-minute red flag period
Why the stewards decided not to penalize Red Bull and how strong that precedent is
The link between the two cases: if Alpin wins Gaslí's appeal, Hadyar drops to fourth
What Alpin needs to prove for the FIA to rule in his favor If the appeal is successful — the Williams case at Zandvoort as a precedent
Colapinto's statements after the race: "it was a disaster," the collision with Alonso, and an analysis of what could have been
What changes for Barcelona and the rest of the season with all this controversy?
