NewzPierre Gasly has stated that the recent FIA International Court of Appeal decision to strip him of his Monaco Grand Prix podium finish did not serve as a motivational factor for his subsequent pole position at the Monza Grand Prix. The court's ruling effectively overturned the original decision by Monaco stewards regarding pitlane speeding penalties, resulting in the loss of Gasly's third-place result.
Despite the negative outcome of the appeal, Gasly indicated that he would have preferred to retain the podium finish rather than use the situation as a catalyst for his performance in Italy. The driver’s comments clarify that his success at Monza was independent of the administrative proceedings regarding the Monaco event.
