The ‘pink Mercedes’ saga is over, after the last teams vowing to take the matter to the international court of appeal dropped their cases at Monza. Mattia Binotto said earlier last weekend that Ferrari would join Renault in withdrawing their appeal if clear rules were put in place for 2021 that ensure “it will not be possible to copy” other teams’ cars. “Now that the ambiguity around the regulations has been settled, we have decided to withdraw our appeal in the wider interests of the sport,” said the team that will become Aston Martin in 2021. “This story brought to light a lack of clarity in the regulations, which we have remedied for 2021,” the Frenchman said. “In Formula 1 we have ten different cars, which are the result of rules that are the same for everyone,” said the Frenchman.
