The question arises as to what he says about this Renault? And how will it proceed now in this case?

French team is on disqualification reacted in these words: "The Renault F1 Team took note of the race commissioners' decision regarding the Racing Point protest and the legality of the braking system. The FIA ​​stressed that this system is technically legal. Nevertheless, the Commissioners came to the conclusion that this aid system violates the sports rules in terms of aid. As the assessment of this system as an aid is subjective and that the corresponding penalties have been highly variable in recent cases, Renault will now quietly examine the next steps."

Renault has also already responded and announced that, in their opinion, they will reconsider this subjective interpretation of the rulers in peace and decide on further steps.
