Renault escapes penalty

Renault has been found guilty of breaching the International Sporting Code, but escaped penalty after the FIA's World Motor Sport Council met to consider the case lodged by McLaren in Monaco today.

"The World Council found Renault F1 to be in breach of article 151c of the International Sporting Code but imposed no penalty," a statement from the FIA read.

"Detailed reasons for this decision will be issued on December 7, 2007, and a transcript of the proceedings will be published as soon as possible thereafter," the short statement concluded.
