# Red Bull, McLaren File Appeal Over Gasly Monaco Verdict

> Teams challenge stewards' decision at Monaco, seeking reversal in FIA's International Court of Appeal.

Red Bull Racing and McLaren have lodged an appeal against the stewards' ruling on Pierre Gasly's Monaco Grand Prix finish, aiming to overturn the decision in the FIA International Court of Appeal.

The stewards had awarded Gasly a penalty that dropped him from his original finishing position, affecting both his championship points and the Constructors' standings.

The appeal cites procedural errors in the race review, arguing that the evidence presented was incomplete and that the timing of the penalty was inconsistent with the regulations.

The case will be heard by the FIA International Court of Appeal on 15 March 2024, following the standard timeline that begins with the submission of the appeal, a brief from the teams, and a response from the stewards.

The court will consider the relevant Articles of the FIA Sporting Regulations and the precedent set by the 2022 Bahrain incident.

If the appeal succeeds, Gasly could regain the lost points, pushing him back into the top 10 of the Drivers' standings and giving McLaren a crucial boost in the Constructors' battle.

The final verdict is expected by 20 March, just days before the next round in Spain.

Team Principal Christian Horner said, 'We believe the stewards misapplied the rules and that a fair review will restore the correct result.' Red Bull's Head of Race Operations, Daniel Ricciardo, added, 'The integrity of the sport depends on accurate adjudication.'

## Why this matters

Championship points are on the line. A successful appeal could alter the official classification of the Monaco GP, shaking up the Constructors' standings and potentially shifting momentum in the early season title fight.
