The Red Bull Formula 1 team has not yet handed over the Monaco Grand Prix third place trophy to Alpine's Pierre Gasly, as it ponders going ahead with an appeal against Isack Hadjar's lost podium.
Following a successful right of review hearing that took place over the Barcelona Grand Prix weekend, Gasly was reinstated to the third-place finish that he took on the road in Monte Carlo – pushing Hadjar down one spot.
That change of result came about after Alpine successfully argued with the FIA stewards that a timing error made by Formula One Management meant that two speeding offences Gasly was handed were not warranted.
With pitlane speed being judged based on the time it takes for a driver to cover a set distance, a mismatch between what FOM had claimed was the length it used and the real pitlane meant Alpine could prove that Gasly never exceeded the speed limit.
Last Friday morning at Barcelona, the FIA stewards announced that they had duly rescinded the double penalty for Gasly – meaning he took back third place from Red Bull's Hadjar.
That decision has triggered some controversy in F1, however, with other teams who were either also given pitlane speeding offences but were served in the race, or those that lost position, not happy.
McLaren and Red Bull both moved to notify the FIA that they intended to appeal against the latest stewards' hearing – with the two squads having until Tuesday morning to decide if they will go ahead.
Red Bull says its motivation in pondering the appeal is one of principle, in that it believes teams have always had to work around pitlane speeding measurements that can never be 100% accurate.
And interestingly, while it considers its next step, The Race has learned that the squad has broken tradition when results change post-race under such circumstances in not swiftly moving to hand over the podium trophy to its rival.
The reasons for this are not clear – and neither is the location of the trophy with some mystery surrounding whether it had been taken direct to Barcelona or was taken elsewhere after Monaco.
Either way, Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said that his squad wanted some important answers from the FIA over the stewards' post-event verdict.
"We think it's more so a matter of principle for the good of the sport to get the right clarity on how we go about non-appealable penalties during the race, and getting the right results at the end of the race," he said.
"No measurement system is perfect on Earth. There is not one single way to measure speed, and they are all wrong.
"However, we have been working with that measurement system for a very high number of years. It was the same the day before [the race], the same on Friday, and the same the previous years.
"We have all adapted to it, and 17 or 18 cars have managed to be legal. So we just need to make sure that, as a sport, we have a solid enough approach so that moving forward we get the right parity for the fans and to the competitors."
Mercedes seeks right of review
Beyond the notifications to appeal that have been lodged by Red Bull and McLaren, Mercedes has also joined in with its own action.
George Russell's hopes of a strong result in Monaco were derailed by being one of the drivers that picked up a pitlane speeding offence.
A subsequent failure to serve that penalty during a safety car stop triggered a drive through, which put him out of the points having got himself up to third place on the road.
Mercedes has launched a petition for a right of review over the amended classification that the FIA issued last Friday morning that reinstates Gasly to third place.
Team boss Toto Wolff felt that, with Russell having lost a lot of points because of the consequences of the speeding penalty, that it was important his squad became an interested party in the ongoing proceedings.
"We've asked for a right of review, because you just simply want to sit on the table when decisions are being made," he said.
But asked about his chances of success in having the order reclassified to move Russell back, Wolff admitted that things did not look great.
"I still think it's a long shot," he said.
