The FIA announced on Thursday that Mercedes had withdrawn its request to review the Formula 1 Monaco GP results, with the team confirming the decision on Friday morning.
In its statement, Mercedes explained that, following discussions with the FIA and Formula One Management, it had concluded that pursuing the request would not achieve any positive outcome for either the team or the sport.
Mercedes only requested a review of the Monaco GP results following the reinstatement of Pierre Gasly's third place. That came after Alpine challenged the race results immediately after the finish and successfully proved that the two penalties Gasly received in Monaco for pitlane speeding were incorrect. The crucial element that led to that outcome was an admission from FOM, the official timing systems supplier of the championship, that the measurements used in Monaco were incorrect.
