Mercedes withdraw right of review request over Monaco Grand Prix result

By JJ Lopez · June 18, 2026

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team has officially withdrawn its request for a review concerning the results of the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix. The team had sought to challenge decisions made by the stewards, particularly those affecting driver George Russell.

Russell received a penalty during the Monaco race for a pit lane speeding infringement. He was subsequently given a drive-through penalty for failing to correctly serve the initial infraction. This resulted in Russell falling from a podium-contending position to 12th place, outside the points.

Mercedes' withdrawal follows Alpine's successful Right of Review, which saw Pierre Gasly reinstated to third place after a similar pit lane speeding penalty. The team's statement confirmed the withdrawal of their petition relating to Article B1.6.3a of the FIA F1 Regulations concerning Car 63.
