'Mercedes has lodged its intention to appeal'

F1 journalist Chris Medland reports this on his Twitter. Mercedes is also said to have informed the FIA on this. This also has to be done within one hour of the ruling according to the regulations.

Mercedes told The Race that the odds are highest against their complaint against the FIA being declared unfounded. The chance that there will be protests against the overtaking of Lewis Hamilton by Max Verstappen during the safety car would be a lot smaller.
