The decision of the commissioners to exclude Daniel Ricciardo and Nico H\u00fclkenberg from the Japanese Grand Prix for using a system that automatically adjusts the brake balance distribution based on the car’s position on the track will not be challenged by the Renault team, which therefore accepts the sanction.<\/p>\n
The French team therefore states in a press release its intention not to go further in this matter: \u00ab We regret the decision of the stewards and, in particular, the severity of the sanction applied. In our view, the penalty is not proportional to the benefits the drivers gain, especially when used in the context of a fully authorized and innovative system. It is also inconsistent with previous penalties for similar offenses, as acknowledged by the stewards in their decision, but expressed without further argumentation. However, as we have no new evidence to present other than what has already been produced to demonstrate the legality of our system, we do not wish to invest further time and effort in a sterile debate before the International Court of Appeal regarding the subjective assessment, and thus the sanction, related to an aid that reduces the driver’s workload without improving the car’s performance. We have therefore decided not to appeal the stewards’ decision. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Renault half-heartedly acknowledges that it might have needed to take more precautions before launching its system on the track: \u00ab Formula 1 will always be an arena for the relentless search for the smallest possible competitive advantage. This is what we have always done and will continue to do, but with stricter internal processes before innovative solutions are implemented. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
