Following the news that both Daniel Ricciardo (P6) and Nico Hulkenberg (P10) were disqualified from the Japanese Grand Prix, Renault have confirmed they will look into the possibility of appealing the decision.
It was one of Renault's best results of the season at the Japanese Grand Prix but their delight was short-lived when Racing Point lodged an appeal into their braking system.
A week and a half after the race and the incident took place the FIA took the decision to disqualify both Renault cars from the race. The FIA “constitutes a driving aid and is, therefore, not in compliance with Article 27.1 [of the] FIA Formula 1 Sporting Regulations."
Renault have responded by releasing a statement of their own. They said: "Both Renault cars were disqualified from the Japanese Grand Prix and the team loses the nine points scored.
"However, considering the subjectivity of the qualification of a system as a driver aid and the variability of the associated penalties in recent cases, Renault F1 Team will consider its next course of action within the timeframe laid out by the FIA."
Renault have until Thursday at 10 AM local time (Mexico) to lodge their appeal.
