Pierre Gasly’s penalties for speeding in the pit lane during the Monaco Grand Prix have been reinstated following a hearing before the FIA International Court of Appeal.

The FIA announced the decision on Thursday after the court heard the case in Paris on August 25. The ruling restores the sanctions imposed on the Alpine driver during the race.

Gasly received two five-second time penalties for different speeding offences in the pit lane, resulting in a total 10-second penalty. The FIA’s updated classification lists the French driver seventh, with the revised penalties included in the official results.

The case reached the International Court of Appeal after someone previously challenged the sanctions. The court’s decision means the original penalties will remain in force.
