Grand Prix podium finish for a second time after McLaren and Red Bull succeeded with their appeals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McLaren and Red Bull brought their appeals before the International Court of Appeal, who delivered its verdict on Friday as practice got underway at the Italian Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in an extraordinary press conference after the opening practice session at Monza, Alpine executive advisor Briatore claimed that one of the four judges involved in the case was biased towards McLaren.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure> <source

over the result of the Monaco Grand Prix has links to McLaren.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alpine driver Pierre Gasly had his two five-second penalties reimposed and has been stripped of his Monaco Grand Prix podium finish for a second time after McLaren and Red Bull succeeded with their appeals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McLaren and Red Bull brought their appeals before the International Court of Appeal, who delivered its verdict on Friday as practice got underway at the Italian Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in an extraordinary press conference after the opening practice session at Monza, Alpine executive advisor Briatore claimed that one of the four judges involved in the case was biased towards McLaren.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure> <source
