Sir Jackie Stewart has urged the FIA to hit Renault with an appropriate punishment if they are found guilty of fixing the outcome of last year’s Singapore Grand Prix.
“The governing body of the sport have been somewhat inconsistent in past years and times with regards to some of their penalties, and I hope that common sense will prevail,” said Stewart. “If there is guilt found then it had to be dealt with accordingly.”
“We’ve seen in the past few years some very odd things happen,” said Stewart, citing the draconian fine handed out to McLaren two years ago when it was decided they had illegally used data obtained from Ferrari to improve their own car.
Three-time drivers’ champion Stewart, who also spent three seasons running his own eponymous team in the late 1990s, added: “McLaren were fined 100million dollars for something that was never seen to be proved completely.”
