Following the most recent F1 race, Alpine confirmed it would seek a right of review for the pit lane speeding infringement that relegated Gasly from third to seventh.
Gasly was given a pair of five-second penalties, first for going 0.1 km/h over the speed limit and then 0.4 km/h too fast in the second instance.
His were two of several pit lane speeding penalties delivered over the course of the 68-lap race.
Given the unusual curved nature of Monaco’s tight pit lane, speed is determined via a series of transponders.
Drivers were essentially stung because they short-cut the lane and exceeded the average speed calculation.
The right of review will be heard on Thursday at 9:00pm AEST via video link.

Alpine will have to provide a significant and relevant new element to convince stewards they should overturn their decision.
The hearing will be split into two parts. The first part will begin with Alpine providing the aforementioned new material.
Only if stewards agree will the second part proceed, in which stewards will consider the merits of the penalties.
Ahead of the upcoming grand prix at Barcelona, Gasly it had been an emotionally-charged few days and held out hope for the result to be overturned.
“I left Monaco with a lot of difficult emotions after what happened in the race,” he said.
“It is a difficult one to take and certainly something I will reflect on in the future as one of those ‘what could have been’ moments in my career.
“I am really proud of how we performed in Monaco.
“It was not an easy weekend where we had to really work hard to make the most of the package and that resulted in reaching Q3 and beating some of our close rivals who were very competitive in Monaco.
“Then we had a really hard-fought race with overtakes on a McLaren and a Red Bull to make up some places and that put ourselves in a great position for a big reward.
“As we know, that reward never came and I know the team is fighting hard behind the scenes for the Right of Review.
“I’ve had a relaxed couple of days since and my mind right now is very much focused on Barcelona.”
The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix takes place across June 12-14.
