Alpine has won a review of Pierre Gasly’s podium-robbing penalties in the Monaco Grand Prix because Formula 1 used an inaccurate pitlane distance to measure the speeds of cars.

That error shouldn't have come as a shock, considering they handed out what must've been more pit lane speeding penalties than ever before.

    "Shock" is typical The Race clickbait.

    considering they handed out what must’ve been more pit lane speeding penalties than ever before.

    I don't think much will come of this, though. Fact is that the drivers who didn't cut the white lines didn't get any penalties.

    I knew it had to be some kind of sensor, calibration or measuring error. What a farce.

    LOL F1 is supposed to be a sport of accuracy...

    I’m not a Russell fan, but if the Alpine penalty is reverted… you gotta feel bad for RUS. It would mean he was penalized for not serving a penalty that he didn’t commit.

    OTOH, Gasly deserves more points for his efforts.
