The FIA has confirmed it has received Mercedes' appeal over the decision to change the result of the Monaco Grand Prix last week.
Following a protest from Alpine, Pierre Gasly saw two five-second time penalties that were applied post-race abolished due to an error over the measurement of pit lane speed.
Gasly was one of several drivers who was punished after being found guilty of speeding in the Monaco pit lane, but as others served their penalties during the race itself, they could not take the same action as Alpine.
Mercedes' Russell was one such driver who was handed a five-second pit lane speeding penalty.
However, when he served it, it was determined that the team did so incorrectly which resulted in a drive-through penalty, demoting him out of the point-paying positions.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff confirmed it had requested a fresh look at the incident, with the FIA now confirming that it will take place this Saturday.
“The Stewards received a petition for Review under Article 14.1.1 of the FIA International Sporting Code from Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team on Friday 12th June 2026 in respect of the decision of the Stewards of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, Documents 99, breach of Article B1.6.3a of the FIA F1 Regulations in relation to Car 10,” read a statement from the FIA.
“The team representative is required to report to the Stewards on Saturday 20th June 2026, at 09:00 CEST in relation to the above. The hearing will be held virtually via video conference, details of which will be provided by separate communication.
“It should be noted that this Hearing will be held in two parts. The first part will be to determine the admissibility of the petition then if admissible, determine if there is “significant and relevant new element which was unavailable to the stewards at the time of the Decision concerned.”
“Should the Stewards determine, in accordance with Article 14.3 of the FIA International Sporting Code, that such an element exists, a second part of the Hearing will be convened at a time to be advised, in all likelihood shortly after the first part of the Hearing.”
McLaren has also confirmed its appeal of the stewards' ruling, while RacingNews365 understands Red Bull is pressing ahead with the same action.
