Huh, penalty withdrawn, then why is that not reflected in the points? Pure hogwash! They were just further penalized for having the shunt which overrode the original (lesser) set back. To imply that the penalty was withdrawn is nothing but a whitewash, as it was already moot, given the fact that the car was starting from the pit lane!
L.P.
