Mercedes have requested a right of review from the FIA of the results of the Monaco Grand Prix after Alpine won their appeal case which saw Pierre Gasly reinstated to the podium.

Gasly was one of five drivers - Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, McLaren's Oscar Piastri, Alpine's Franco Colapinto and Mercedes' George Russell - who received five-second time penalties for speeding in the pit lane.

In the case of Russell, he failed to serve his five-second time penalty correctly at a pit stop, so was handed a drive-through penalty which saw him drop to 12th when he was on course for a likely podium.

But, unlike the other drivers, Gasly did not serve his two five-second penalties for speeding at a pit stop and 10 seconds were added to his finishing time, which originally demoted him from third to seventh.

Alpine appealed the penalties and provided evidence that Monaco's pit lane distance was incorrect, thus the drivers' speed was also being measured incorrectly.

The stewards regarded this evidence as a "significant and relevant new element" so Gasly's penalties were rescinded.

As for Russell, he and Mercedes lost 15 points in their championship fights and the Silver Arrows believe the pit lane distance, plus Gasly's penalties being overturned, is new evidence which could change the race classification. However, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff described the effort as a "long shot".

"We wrote to the FIA for a right of review as well. To be honest, I'm not sure if this is a realistic outcome because you open up a can of worms," he added to Sky Sports F1.

"Normally if you have a drive-through penalty and you don't do it, it's 20 seconds (added after the race) and those 20 seconds would put George back to P4.

"But what are all the other consequences? I don't think this will hold with the judges but we have to do it for George's benefit."

As a result of the successful Alpine appeal, Red Bull's Isack Hadjar and McLaren's Piastri were bumped down to fourth and fifth, with Racing Bulls pair Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad down to sixth and seventh.

Sky Sports News understands McLaren and Red Bull lodged their intention to appeal Gasly's reinstatement and have until Tuesday afternoon to confirm an official appeal.

"It's very tough to know what's right," Piastri told Sky Sports F1 after Sunday's Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

"I kind of see they have admitted there was something wrong with the pit lane but when you have five or six cars penalised for that, because I was not speeding either, and you change one penalty and you don't change any of the others, it creates a tough situation for everybody.

"For me, it's not about the points, I just don't think that's how we should be looking through things and it sets a very awkward precedent because now it incentivises finishing where you want on track, not taking penalties, then arguing about it later, rather than having the race result when we should."

Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies says his outfit were "a bit confused" about Alpine's successful appeal.

"You are racing around cars that are receiving non-appealable penalties and you are adapting your racing to that. Some cars actually served their penalties," he told Sky Sports F1.

"Regardless what we think as teams - and we are defending our competitive position - it is very important for the fans that we get, moving forward, the right clarity about the race result at the time the race is finishing."
