F1 LIVE: Barcelona Grand Prix result changed as Lewis Hamilton left in | F1 | Sport

Toto Wolff has confirmed Mercedes have appealed George Russell’s penalties during the Monaco Grand Prix.

Russell was penalised for speeding in the pit lane, before picking up another time penalty for not serving the original penalty properly.

However, Pierre Gasly recently saw a time penalty overturned for a similar incident, with the Frenchman bumped up to third in the standings.

Inspired by the change of decision, Wolff confirmed in Barcelona that Mercedes are also pushing for Russell’s punishments to be reversed.

The German remarked: “Yes, we’ve asked for a right of review because we just simply want to sit at the table when decisions are being made.”

And when asked if Mercedes ought to have taken action sooner, he replied: “No, I still think it’s a long shot,” likely because drivers who have served their punishment during the race, cannot have it reversed afterwards under the sporting regulations.
