First McLaren's $100 Million fine, and now Renault gets a 2-year ban.
Don't mess with the FIA, they will have your 'nuts' in a pretty big vice and are more-than-willing to turn the screw. :eek: :o

Now, it'll be down to 4 manufacturers and teams scrambling to find engine deals for '10 and beyond.

I bet they quit....Quote:
We sincerely hope that we can soon put this matter behind us and focus constructively on the future. We will issue further information in the next few days
As a point of order. It's not a 2 year ban. It's a permanent ban, suspended for 2 years. So if Renault do anything in the next two years they are banned permanently.

I wonder if Pat Symonds will be back in F1? He'll be in his 60s!
Well, if they quit, I will miss them but in the other hand I will be how to say... smug to see F1 with two or three engines next year, as Toyota will likely quit as well. This oh-so-Puritan view, bans for life etc, I know that most people are happy with the fact that Flav and Ron are gone, but this is no church, really. Cheating should be punished, but this quest for purity... as Irvine said, everybody cheats. I believe him. So with this purity ***, I hope that it will end with the next FIA president. If they catch you - DQ for the rest of the year and finish with this. JMO.Quote:
