MONZA, Italy: Racing Point on Sunday dropped their appeal against a 15 points deduction and €400,000 fine for breaking Formula One's regulations with alleged copies of the brake ducts used on last year's championship winning Mercedes cars.

"We welcome the resolution the teams have agreed and we're pleased the FIA has provided much-needed clarification of the rules on listed and non-listed parts," said Racing Point in a statement. "Now that the ambiguity around the regulations has been settled, we have decided to withdraw our appeal in the wider interests of the sport."This issue has been a distraction for us and the other teams, but now we and everyone else can get back to focusing solely on what we're all here to do: Racing hard and providing excitement and entertainment for the millions of F1 fans around the world.
