Toto Wolff has confirmed Mercedes have appealed George Russell’s penalties during the Monaco Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Russell was penalised for speeding in the pit lane, before picking up another time penalty for not serving the original penalty properly.<\/p>\n
However, Pierre Gasly recently saw a time penalty overturned for a similar incident, with the Frenchman bumped up to third in the standings.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the change of decision, Wolff confirmed in Barcelona that Mercedes are also pushing for Russell\u2019s punishments to be reversed.<\/p>\n
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.\u201d<\/p>\n
And when asked if Mercedes ought to have taken action sooner, he replied: “No, I still think it’s a long shot,\u201d likely because drivers who have served their punishment during the race, cannot have it reversed afterwards under the sporting regulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toto Wolff has confirmed Mercedes have appealed George Russell’s penalties during the Monaco Grand Prix.
