Renault wins appeal

Apparently the “Powers to Be” have decided that with the absence of Michael Schumacher’s hoped for comeback dashed and Spain’s largest Formula 1 driver potentially sitting in some luxury box with King Juan Carlos, the FIA’s Court of Appeals has decided to overturn the Hungarian race stewards one race ban imposed upon Renault for the error of sending Fred Alonso out of the pits with an unsecured front tyre which was last seen bouncing down the race track just one day after Felipe Massa’s horrible shunt…

Thus Renault has been reinstated for the upcoming European GP and simply had their knuckles wrapped and fined $50,000 Euros for their indiscretion… A la Red Bull Racing when telling Sebastian Vettel to continue on after his coming together with Robert Kubica in Australia…
