Valencia: Renault is delighted

After learning that she could participate in the European Grand Prix in Valencia, Renault was not choosy. The reprimand and the financial sanction of 50 euros are little compared to the absence from the paddocks of the European Grand Prix. In Valencia, on the land of its double world champion pilot, Fernando Alonso, the Franco-British team could not miss such a meeting. Renault therefore welcomes the decision of the FIA ​​Court of Appeal and accepts the compensatory fine imposed.

« ING Renault F1 Team is satisfied with the decision taken by the FIA ​​International Court of Appeal which lifted the sanction imposed on the team on July 26, 2009 which had excluded it from the European Grand Prix, specifies the team in a press release . However, the team acknowledges having violated the Sporting Regulations during the incident in the pit lane, compromising safety. ING Renault F1 Team therefore accepts the FIA?s decision to impose a reprimand and a fine of $50 on the team.

The team is now looking forward to being able to focus on preparations for this weekend's European Grand Prix in Valencia. »
