J'Accuse! Renault Found Guilty... Receives No Punishment

We've mentioned the whole Renault Spygate thing before, but just to sum up: Renault hired ex-McLaren team member who showed some McLaren drawings to Renault, who claims they didn't use any of the info. Apparently, the FIA bought the Renault excuse and, as with Ferrari, didn't levy any penalties because they didn't believe the team got any advantages from the information.

Renault, obviously, is quite relieved. Not to be complete pansies, the FIA did say that there could be facing severe punishment if fresh proof emerged. Of course, the people at Renault aren't idiots and have promptly destroyed all fresh proof by now. [Reuters]
