Mercedes has officially withdrawn its Right of Review regarding George Russell's penalty from the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix. The team had sought to review a penalty imposed on Russell for speeding in the pit lane, which contributed to his subsequent drop to 12th place after earlier contending for a podium finish. This decision follows Alpine's successful appeal concerning a similar infraction for Pierre Gasly, who retained his third-place finish. The recent announcement confirms Mercedes will no longer pursue the review under FIA regulations.
