Renault is once again protesting against the legality of the Racing Point RP20. This goes on while the previous investigation into the RP20 has still not been completed.

Same protest as last week

Renault is not satisfied with the working method of Racing Point. Racing Point is said to have copied the 2019 Mercedes W10 and may also have received information from Mercedes according to Renault. Racing Point team boss Otmar Szafnauer said several times in the past week that the cars are completely legal.

Nevertheless, Renault again protests. And again this is exactly the same problem: copying the Mercedes W10. Renault are drawing attention to the brake ducts in particular. Nikolas Tombazis said earlier that the FIA had not properly inspected it.
