Toyota decides not to appeal

Toyota Motorsport has decided not to continue with its appeal against Jarno Trulli's penalty in Melbourne. The team says that it decided to announce the move "to preserve any right it may have to utilise the appeal procedure and to give it time to consider in appropriate detail all the facts relating to the incident". After this was done Toyota said that it reckoned the appeal would be rejected on a procedural point and decided that it would serve no benefit to pursue this course of action.
