Mercedes said a makeshift modification to address their car's 'porpoising' problem was not effective and would not be used in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.
Rivals had questioned the struggling champions use of a second stiffening stay to the floor of their car, with Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer suggesting it could even be protested after the race.
Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton said after practice on Friday, when he ran a different setup to team mate George Russell, that his Mercedes was "a disaster" and the car was getting worse. "Whatever we do on this car to improve it just makes it more unhappy but we have to keep working, it is what it is. One touch of the kerbs here and the car goes flying, it's so stiff and here in Montreal, you really need to ride the kerbs.
