Pierre Gasly was reinstated to the Monaco Grand Prix podium on Friday, following an appeal by his Alpine team.
Gasly had initially finished third on the track in last Sunday's race but was subsequently demoted to seventh place. This demotion resulted from two five-second penalties applied for alleged pitlane speeding.
Formula One stewards rescinded these penalties after recognizing an error in the timekeeping. Formula One, which is responsible for the sport's timekeeping, has since admitted that a mistake was made with its measurements.
According to The Guardian Sport, this decision restores Gasly's third-place finish.
