IT'S RACE WEEK 🇦🇹

[Alfa Romeo @alfa_romeo]

116 years of Italian sportiness. 50 years of history at the heart of the Biscione. Today, in Arese, enthusiasts from around the world gathered to celebrate Alfa Romeo’s anniversary and 5 decades since the museum was founded. All together, united by a bond that transcends time. #AlfaRomeo

@MsportXtra @JunaidSamodien_ @lukasredl Great result last night against Sweden. Just need to tighten up the Dutch defense, then they will be a powerhouse

[Junaid #JB17 @JunaidSamodien_]

Holy.... some of Mark Mateschitz's recently acquired Bernie Ecclestone collection will be taking part in the Red Bull Legends Parade "including the Brabham BT46B fan car."

[Alfa Romeo @alfa_romeo]

Passion speaks a universal language. At the Simola Hillclimb in South Africa, #AlfaRomeo showcased the Giulia Quadrifoglio, Stelvio Quadrifoglio, and Junior Veloce — a clear expression of the brand’s international spirit and performance DNA.

@ComradesRace why u not responding or making excuses to rubbish u allowed managed yesterday. Coverage was worst in history, 1hr break, never see runners close up, finish line chaos, 2 screaming stadium idiots, 3 stupid groups, you have destroyed a heritage moment, shame in you

In the 2014 season, Mercedes won the first 6 races; in the 7th race, one driver retired and the other finished second

@TVwithThinus @tumisole @AthleticsSA_ @ComradesRace @SABCPortal @SABC_2 Completely agree. It was embarrassing.

[Holiness @F1BigData]

The fact that Stroll beat Alonso in qualifying means that, at the very least, Michael Schumacher will retain his record for another 2 years
He beat his teammates in 56 consecutive qualifyings (1992 South Africa – 1995 Hungary)

🚨 | Charles Leclerc: "Pole position possible? There is no point in saying that when I end up in the wall."

"But anyway, the points are scored tomorrow. It's going to be an interesting race, and I hope we can move up the field."

[tami. @Vetteleclerc]

Charles said that no matter how good the race will be for him tomorrow, he will still be disappointed with himself with what happened today (his mistake)….

[La Gazzetta Ferrari @GazzettaFerrari]

🚨 | Charles Leclerc: "I’m okay. It’s mostly the shame I feel that keeps me from being at my best, but other than that, I’m doing fine (physically).”

“I feel ashamed for everyone who supports me, and for the team who worked like crazy to bring upgrades..."

@KoulaBudler @ComradesRace Good luck and enjoy

Three things had to line up for the stewards to overturn this.

1. The rule never says the timing system is the final word. The speeding rule (Article B1.6.3a) just says there's a speed limit, 60 km/h at Monaco. It doesn't say "speed as measured by the official timing system". Compare the false start rule (B5.11.1), which spells out exactly which system decides whether you jumped the start. Because the speeding rule names no source, the only question the stewards had to answer was: was the car actually going faster than 60? Not: did the screen say so.

2. The timekeeper proved its own number wrong. Pit lane speed is calculated as distance divided by time, and the official distance for that zone was 77 cm too long, because the barriers moved this year and opened a shorter line. The timekeeper found this itself with a laser scan after the race. Redo the maths with the correct distance and Gasly was doing 58.7 and 58.8 km/h. Under the limit, both times. The stewards actually rejected all of Alpine's own evidence; what convinced them was the official system contradicting itself.

3. The penalty could still be undone. Gasly never served his penalties during the race they were added to his finishing time afterwards, and that's the only kind the stewards have the power to erase. A penalty served at a pit stop is gone forever; nobody can give you back time you spent stationary. Alpine then filed for a review within the 96-hour deadline (Article 14 of the Sporting Code), with the new evidence the rules require. They were the only team that did.

That's why Gasly got his podium back and the other four drivers caught by the same faulty zone got nothing: all three conditions held for him, and only him.
