Alpine Wins Review of Gasly's 2 Monaco Penalties as F1 Data Overstated Pitlane Speed

Summary
Thursday's right-of-review hearing accepted Alpine's new evidence and triggered an immediate second hearing on Pierre Gasly's two five-second Monaco pitlane speeding penalties.
F1's pitlane distance data was found to be inaccurate and to overestimate Gasly's speed, meaning the FIA timing system may have worked correctly while relying on flawed Formula One Management input.
Gasly had finished third on the road but fell to seventh after penalties for exceeding the limit by just 0.1 and 0.4 km/h; Alpine also said its data showed he engaged the limiter before pit entry.
A revised ruling could still alter the Monaco result, though any reversal would likely fuel controversy because other drivers' pitlane penalties were served during the race rather than added afterward.
