Formula ⁠1 governing body on Friday reinstated Red ‌Bull's Isack Hadjar to ‌third place at ‌last June's Monaco Grand ‌Prix and demoted Alpine's ‌Pierre Gasly for the second time.

Gasly ‌finished third on track ⁠on ‌June 7 but was ​demoted to seventh when two five-second ​penalties for pit-lane speeding were applied post-race, ⁠with ​fellow Frenchman Hadjar promoted to third.

That decision was overturned after a ‌right to review on June 12, stewards accepting Renault-owned Alpine's evidence that there had been a timekeeping error.

The FIA's International Court of Appeal ‌then met last ​month to hear a ‌McLaren and Red Bull challenge, with the verdict issued ahead of the Italian ⁠Grand ⁠Prix.

Alpine dubbed the final verdict disappointing and unjust in an official statement, but accepted the decision.
