http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2009/08/rena...e-ban-tomorrow/ They should have lied about it afterwards, as we know that's only worth a suspended ban.

I really hope they get to race... it seems disproportionate to me. The FIA has made its point, now let Renault race. |

As much as the ban does seem harsh, it has come at a critical time when one of the drivers had a near fatal accident the previous day and a young man lost his life the week before. It is understandable that the FIA stewards reacted in this way. I believe that some sort of punishment is due just to emphasize the safety issue but to ban the team from valencia would be too much. |

No pics of Flavio, even if they get the ban overturned, this is a family friendly site.

Yeah, it's sorted now. As dangerous as the situation was, the decision in Hungary was made amongst high emotion and really was too harsh. |

Exactly. Knee-jerk reactions are rarely for the better. |

Great result... too bad Alonso won't get to race his old sparing partner again... |
