BARCELONA: Renault team chief Cyril Abiteboul wants to see rivals Racing Point stripped of all the points they have collected at races where their car was protested as illegal. Racing Point have also appealed the verdict, claiming they are innocent and wish to clear their name. Racing Point have been permitted to continue to use the controversial rear brake ducts that were allegedly copied from Mercedes’ 2019 title winning car – an issue that the Renault chief wants to see clarified because the team are reprimanded each time. “There was no discount for Renault so I don’t know why there should be a discount for Racing Point. It’s a bit of a strange situation and I think that we’d like to have a bit more clarity about that.
