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.

That error shouldn’t have come as a shock

"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.

Fucking clown show.

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.
