Gasly states that the battle in Monaco "isn't finished yet."

      Pierre Gasly and Flavio Briatore have suggested that Alpine may not yet be done with the legal ramifications of the Monaco Grand Prix, even though the FIA International Court of Appeal has upheld Gasly’s penalties and retracted his third-place finish. Gasly expressed to Canal Plus at Monza, "We got robbed. I believe this won't be the end of it."

      "I had made it clear regarding the speed we were achieving in the pitlane, and there are various interpretations and disputes happening legally that extend beyond the sports aspect." He added, "It’s unfortunate to see results affected by these types of events." "We finished third on the track."

      Gasly stated that the next steps are up to Alpine, saying, "I’ll leave it to my team to handle the rest." The French driver continued, "I've done all I could on the track, and now it’s their responsibility to take necessary actions, and I have confidence in them." These remarks followed Briatore’s bold statements during Friday’s FIA team principals’ press conference, where he raised concerns about the independence of ICA judge Filippo Marchino due to alleged connections with McLaren.

      "We accept the outcome of the hearing," Briatore commented. "What’s truly disappointing is discovering that one of the judges has a close relationship with McLaren." When directly asked if Alpine is contemplating additional legal action, he responded, "We’ve been considering it. Let’s get through the weekend first, and then we will think about it." "At this point, I’m uncertain."

      In response, McLaren’s team principal Andrea Stella firmly dismissed any suggestion that the appeal process had been tainted. "I find this conference veering in this direction quite disrespectful to McLaren and to the reputation of a team that deserves considerable respect," the Italian stated. "The hearing and the entire International Court of Appeal were conducted to the highest standards, and we should not scrutinize this phase as has been done." The FIA noted that the judging panel was chosen by the president of the independent International Court of Appeal from eligible candidates and elected by the FIA General Assembly.
