The regulatory nightmare surrounding the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix is officially going to court. Following the deeply controversial decision to retroactively erase Pierre Gasly’s pit lane speeding penalties due to a Formula One Management (FOM) timing loop error, McLaren has decided that simply asking the stewards for a review isn’t enough. The Woking-based squad is taking the governing body directly to the FIA International Court of Appeal.

 

According to an official team statement, McLaren Racing confirmed it has formally lodged a notification of appeal with the FIA International Court of Appeal. The aggressive legal maneuver specifically targets three crucial post-race filings: Stewards Document 99, the Revised Final Race Classification Document 100, and the Revised Championship Points Document 101.
