Mercedes Drops Monaco Penalty Appeal

Mercedes has dropped its appeal over George Russell’s Monaco penalties after realizing further review wouldn’t help — despite initially pushing for a challenge to keep options open. The team’s move follows FOM admitting timing errors that affected multiple drivers, including Russell, who was pushed out of the top ten.

Meanwhile, Red Bull and McLaren are still pursuing separate appeals over Pierre Gasly’s reinstated podium. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
