The Formula 1 controversy over pitlane speeding penalties at the Monaco Grand Prix remains unresolved nearly two weeks after the race. Alpine secured a reinstated podium for Pierre Gasly following a successful right of review, prompting appeals from McLaren and Red Bull. Mercedes has now withdrawn its own review request regarding George Russell.
Former Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone has endorsed a shift to larger engines for the series. He spoke at the Austrian Grand Prix in support of FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. The proposed change targets a 2031 rules cycle that could arrive earlier.
