How the sources differ

Autosport and Motorsport.com detail the technical story of the folding rear wing, while Formula1.com focuses on Gasly's race reflections. ESPN and F1i highlight his 'story of my life' quote. Crash.net and PlanetF1 cover Jeremy Clarkson's beer promise. The official FIA document is absent, so no ruling is established.

Recommended first read: Autosport provides the most complete technical and narrative context, explaining the folding rear wing's role in Gasly's pole, and includes an image.
