If I remember correctly, the fine against McLaren was so huge in order to get their attention. A 10 Million fine would have been paid with a chuckle.

I would imagine with Renault a fine more in ratio with their budget will be levied.

100 million was not a precedent, it was in line with what the team could afford.
