Zakspeed appealed initially but withdrew their appeal on Monday. Admission of guilt? AMG are claiming innocence but we all know what happened at Spa last year. Now Zakspeed are claiming they ended the relationship. I can see both parties could be guilty, on one hand you've got AMG who've tried this before and then you have Zakspeed who I'm sure would be stupid enough to do something like this.
