Renault confirms that the team has requested the withdrawal of all appeals against the Racing Point brake ducts. The team campaigned several times for a severe penalty against the Racing Point team, but now announces that the goal of their protest has been achieved.

Renault withdraws

Renault, which started the appeal against Racing Point, has now applied to the FIA to withdraw from the protest. The French race stable is announcing this in a press release.

"Beyond the decisions, the matters at issue were vital to the integrity of Formula One, both during the current season and in the future. However, intensive and constructive work between the FIA, Renault DP World F1 Team and all Formula One stakeholders has led to concrete progress in safeguarding the originality in the sport by way of amendments to the Sporting and Technical Regulations planned for the 2021 racing season, confirming the requirements to qualify as a Constructor", the press release states.

Ferrari remaining

Furthermore, the team writes that achieving this objective was their priority under the new Concorde Agreement. Furthermore, the team now wants to leave the controversy behind and focus on the further course of the season. Now that Renault has withdrawn, Ferrari will be the only team left to protest against Racing Point.
