Pierre Gasly speaking to Sky Sports F1 after the race - [Full Quotes]:

Natalie Pinkham: Obviosuly podium on the road where you probably feel you deserve to be right now, up there tasting the champagne, just talk me through the penalties that clearly a lot of people are scratching their heads over.

Pierre Gasly: Right now, honestly I'm just heartbroken. I don't have the words, I have too much emotions to process and I just can't get my head around what happened. It just doesn't sound fair. Triple checking with the team to set the right speed in the car. On both occasions, I've put the pit limiter way before the line and we're all working so hard for this moment.

In 10 years I do this, 10 years I try to grab opportunities, five podiums which is nothing in my career and we pass the road in third position in front of all the French people and it gets taken away from us. Right now, I just don't know what to say.

Natalie Pinkham Sky Sports F1: Given the amount of drivers who are saying the same thing as you, surely something can be said.

Gasly: I hope they can have a look into it and just make the right decisions. As I said, from our side, I know I haven't done anything wrong and I'm 200% sure I was before the line. The team set the right speed from what they said and hopefully they can investigate it but it won't give me that moment away. I've just been watching the podium and I definitely feel that I should have been up there.

Natalie Pinkham Sky Sports F1: So you think the team will appeal?

Gasly: I don't know. Honestly, I have no idea. I think they will obviously fight it. It's nine points that we're losing a podium. Honestly, I have no idea. #MonacoGP #AlpineF1 #F1
