I can understand people assuming Renault’s guilt. You’d think if they’re not guilty surely they’d at least contest the allegations the FIA presented, given how damaging they are. But, like said, we don't know everything, and probably never will.
I’ve never trusted the Symonds Flav partnership, it has lead to some of the more interesting rule breaking / twisting throughout the years, like the ’94 benetton, which effectively has TC. Removing the filters from the fuel re-fillers for the ‘94 season leading to the Verstappen fire. As Schumacher’s race engineer I find it difficult to believe Symonds wasn’t aware of these things, as they influenced race strategy so much. In recent years, as Renault, they’ve been found guilty of using McLaren’s intellectual property for their cars. As a director of engineering, you’d think he’d be aware (to an extent) of where his information/data is coming from.
This, to me, is why I call him as well as Flav dodgy characters.
