Mercedes withdraws review request over Monaco Grand Prix penalty

Summary

Mercedes has officially withdrawn its Right of Review regarding George Russell's penalty from the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix.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.
