This is why I don’t watch England anymore. Always find a way to bottle it and disappoint the millions of fans trying to get behind the boys. Disgraceful.
Formula 1 will transform the Drivers' Parade this Sunday at the British Grand Prix into a full scale spectacle, with 22 drivable @LEGO_Group minicars in each of the Teams' colourways taking to track just moments before lights out and each made from 28,000 real LEGO bricks.

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.

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
A student was stabbed with a “shashtar” knife on a night out. As he lay bleeding to death, his attacker claimed he’d racially abused him, so the police handcuffed him.
Henry Nowak choked to death, in a puddle of his own blood under arrest for “racism”, in Britain, in 2025.
Will there be protests at his death? Will the anti-racism movement even bat an eyelid?
I suspect not. They’ve totally lost the plot.
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
For the first time pretty much ever, I do feel as if the EFL have got this decision absolutely spot on there. Zero tolerance for cheating of any kind, and an appropriate punishment for next season too. Glad to see the right decision was made 👍 #efl#southampton
An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.
