via the-race.comWhy Gasly podium hearing will take place in privateThe FIA International Court of Appeal will hold a hearing regarding Pierre Gasly's reinstatement to third place at the Monaco Grand Prix on August 25, 2026. This hearing is notable for being conducted behind closed doors, which is unusual as most hearings are open to the media and public. The decision to restrict access was made following a request from the involved parties for confidentiality, particularly concerning the pitlane measurement errors that led to Gasly's initial penalty being overturned by the FIA.
Gasly's reinstatement was contested by other teams, including Red Bull and McLaren, who protested the FIA's decision. While the typical timeframe for a verdict is up to three weeks, the FIA has indicated that a ruling will be expedited in this instance.
