Renault protest Racing Point F1 cars again after Hungarian GP

Renaul🌼t has once again lodged a protest against both Racing Point Formula 1 cars following the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After protesting the two RP20s following last weekend’s Styrian𝓀 Grand Prix, in which the Racing Points finished sixth and seventh, Renault have suꦿbmitted its second consecutive protest in Hungary.

Lance Stroll converted a sec🧸ond-row start into fourth place, while teammate Sergi♓o Perez finished seventh.

Racing Point’s 2020 challenger has caused m♓uch debate due to its close resemblance to the 2019 Mercedes.

Renault is suggesting the RP20 cars are using brake ducts that are copies from the Mercedes W10 which won last year’s wor♏ld championships.

The French manufacturer’s latest protest concerns the same articﷺles of the regulations as its protest in Austr𒀰ia.

“We confirm that Renault DP World F1 Team has submitted a request to the Stewards of the Event for clarifica𒈔tion on the legality of the Racing Point RP20,” a Renaul𝓡t spokesperson confirmed.

"We have ꦐno further comment on this matter until the Stewards have arriv🅷ed at a decision.”

The original investigation is still ongoing and the FIA s🌌aid during the Hungarian Grand Prix that it anticipates further protests to come from Renault.

“If, ultimately, Renault decides to protest every single race, they have the right to do that,” said the ꦚFIA’s head of single-seater matters Nikolas Tombazis.

“I think it is likely that we will see, therefore, for formality reasons, protests. It’s potentially likely, it’s Renault’s decision, it’s certainly not our decision or🌟 our desire or anybody’s, but I think it is likely we’re going to see protests per💎haps until this matter is adjudicated.”
