Motor racing-FIA appeal court strips Gasly of Monaco podium and reinstates Hadjar

​Formula One's governing ​body on ‌Friday reinstated ​Red Bull's Isack Hadjar to third place ‌at last June's Monaco Grand Prix and demoted Alpine's Pierre Gasly for the second ‌time. Gasly finished third on track on ‌June 7 but was demoted to seventh when two five-second penalties for pit-lane speeding ⁠were ​applied post-race, ⁠with fellow Frenchman Hadjar promoted to third.

That decision ⁠was overturned after a right to ​review on June 12, stewards accepting Renault-owned ⁠Alpine's evidence that there had been a ⁠timekeeping ​error. The FIA's International Court of Appeal then met last month ⁠to hear a McLaren and Red Bull challenge, ⁠with ⁠the verdict issued ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.
