Think he perfectly summed up Racing Points angle of attack, they had a loaded gun and waited for the right time to use it. All part of the game when millions and championship positions are at stake
Rumour is Renault are considering leaving F1 so the FIA were never going to punish them severely
I've been on the receiving end of a trivial rule clarification, a rival team we were fighting with asked the FIA for a clarification of a radio aerial I'd positioned in a 'no bodywork' zone. Wasn't done for performance but was a neatly package position for it. I hadn't broken any rules as an aerial isn't bodywork but the clarification caused me to have to move it which wasn't a 5 min job.
The championship is fought off the track as hard it is on the track so this distraction took me away from adding performance to our car. Exactly the result our rival wanted.
At another team one of my main jobs was to look in detail at 1000's of spy photo's of competitors cars to keep an eye on everyone. Really interesting job, thoroughly enjoy it, learnt a huge amount F1 cars and 'stuff' I found caused a few rule clarifications to be asked too
