Formula One stewards rejected Ferrari's request for a review of Sebastian Vettel's Mexican Grand Prix penalty on Friday, arguing that the Italian team had not presented any new evidence to warrant such a move.
The German was demoted in Mexico for making a dangerous move while braking as Red Bull's Australian Daniel Ricciardo attempted to overtake.
"Having received all the written and verbal submissions and carefully considered them, the stewards decide there is no new element," it concluded.
Vettel went from fourth on the track to third and then back down to fifth after stewards applied post-race time penalties to Red Bull's Max Verstappen and then himself.
The penalty was the first for the offence since drivers were given a written warning at the previous race in Texas about such 'defensive manoeuvres'.
