McLaren and Red Bull intend to appeal against Gasly's return to Monaco

Two of the largest Formula 1 teams have officially decided to contest the ruling regarding the reinstatement of Pierre Gasly on the Monaco Grand Prix podium. McLaren and Red Bull have filed their intention to appeal the verdict that restored the French driver to his original position.

This announcement follows a series of events that had led to Gasly’s temporary exclusion from the podium ceremony. The two teams involved believe the initial decision did not accurately reflect the events that transpired during the Monaco race. Their legal challenge aims to secure a review of the decision without questioning the drivers’ on-track performances. Meanwhile, Mercedes, the third force in the championship, is closely monitoring the situation and evaluating its options. The German team has not yet decided on its course of action but may join the appeal or pursue an alternative strategy depending on future developments.
