Former champions Williams joined McLaren yesterday in dropping plans to appeal a stewards decision against Formula One rivals Racing Point. The matter will still go to the governing FIA’s International Court of Appeal after Ferrari and Renault confirmed their intention to take the matter forward. “After careful consideration, Williams have elected not to proceed with the formal appeal,” the Mercedes-powered team said in a statement. Racing Point were fined 400,000 euros and docked 15 constructors’ championship points after Renault protested the brake ducts on the car. The team are allowed to continue racing with it, however.
