Renault withdraws appeal over Racing Point penalty

In the latest turn in Formula One's ongoing copying row, Renault has asked to withdraw the appeal it lodged against Racing Point's penalty earlier this month.

Racing Point was docked 15 points and fined €400,000 after a panel of FIA stewards found the design of its rear brake ducts to be in breach of F1's sporting regulations for being too similar to Mercedes' 2019 design. The decision was originally appealed by Renault, Ferrari and Racing Point and is due to go to the FIA's International Court of Appeal (ICA) unless the other two appeals are also withdrawn.
