McLaren, Red Bull Signal Appeal of Gasly's P3 Reinstatement After 96-Hour Review Window Opens

Summary
McLaren and Red Bull notified the FIA of their intention to appeal the decision that restored Pierre Gasly to third in the Monaco Grand Prix, preserving a 96-hour window to decide whether to proceed.
Friday's ruling reversed two five-second penalties given to Gasly for separate pitlane speeding violations after FOM evidence showed a discrepancy in speed measurement at Monaco's unusual pit entry.
Red Bull and McLaren argued the timing process had been consistent all weekend and teams should have allowed enough margin based on their own data; Haas made a similar point, noting most of the 22-car field avoided violations.
The reinstatement cost Red Bull's Isack Hadjar and McLaren's Oscar Piastri one place each, turning a technical timing dispute into a potential formal appeal over how race results can be revised after the finish.
