The harshest one we can impose - Mosley
Max Mosley, President of the governing body, said that the penalty for the Renault F1 Team was a fair one and claims that it was the harshest the FIA can impose. The WMSC suspended Renault F1’s disqualification until the end of the 2011 season for 'crashgate' during an extraordinary meeting yesterday at Paris.
Max Mosley said to 'The Times': "I think it's the right decision. I think the blame has been placed where the blame should be placed. The penalty that we've imposed is the harshest one we can impose, which is disqualification, complete exclusion from the sport.
"The penalty for Renault is disqualification but suspended for two years, so what that means is that provided they don't do something silly in the next two years, they don't have any problems.
"However, because Renault have demonstrated that they had absolutely no moral responsibility for what took place it would be wrong in the circumstances to impose an immediate penalty."
