Renault face FIA charge

Renault are facing a charge of possessing "confidential information" belonging to McLaren.

The information includes details of the car's fuelling system, gear assembly, hydraulics, suspension and oil-cooling system.

They must appear before a hearing of the FIA World Motor Sport Council in Monaco on December 6.

It is the second 'spying' row to hit the sport this year after McLaren were given a record £47.5million fine after being found guilty of a similar charge in September.

The team were also thrown out of the constructors' championship after they were found to be in possession of technical information belonging to Ferrari.

Renault won the Formula One drivers' and constructors' titles in 2005 and 2006 but failed to win a race this season after double world champion Fernando Alonso moved to McLaren.

The Spaniard has since left the team and is tipped for a return to Renault.
