Last time out in Barcelona, Mercedes were beaten in a grand prix for the first time this year with Lewis Hamilton taking victory. The Briton's first grand prix win for Ferrari, combined with Kimi Antonelli's retirement late in the race, narrowed the gap at the top of the drivers' championship to 41 points. Before Sunday's race in Spielberg, BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your latest questions. A retrospective podium for Pierre Gasly. Justice? Or a can of worms best left unopened? - Clive Formula 1 has clearly got itself in a bit of a pickle regarding the pit-lane speeding penalties in the Monaco Grand Prix. The facts are that five cars were given penalties for pit-lane speeding when none of them had gone over the limit. The length of the pit lane had been mis-measured - it was possible to drive a shorter distance than officials initially realised, by 77cm. And as the pit-lane speed limit is policed by the time taken to pass through a series of timing loops over a specific distance, that meant the drivers were wrongly penalised. This led to a sequence of events that had a dramatic effect on the race result. George Russell was most badly affected by what followed, having a third place turned into a 12th and losing 15 points in the process. But McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Red Bull's Isack Hadjar also had their results changed. Is it justice that Gasly is returned to a third place at the flag that he lost because Alpine refused to serve his penalty during the race, while the other drivers' results are unaddressed? Should the stewards who dealt with Alpine's right of review over the Barcelona weekend have left it at that, and not raised the very obvious questions that followed on from it? In terms of natural justice, the answer to both those questions is clearly no - there remain a number of issues raised by this situation that have not properly been dealt with. McLaren and Red Bull have taken the case to the FIA court of appeal. No date has yet been set for that to be heard. Mercedes have withdrawn their attempt to get the race result reviewed after concluding there was no viable mechanism for restoring Russell to where he could have finished, and it would not serve anybody to drag it all on. As McLaren said in their statement about giving notice of intention to appeal: "We believe this case raises important questions concerning sporting fairness, regulatory consistency and the integrity of competition." The shame is that this could all have been avoided had the FIA and F1 acted differently before the race. Teams warned the FIA that there was a problem waiting to happen with the pit-lane speeding limit during the Monaco week
