The Renault Formula One team will face charges of fixing the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix to help Spaniard Fernando Alonso win, the governing FIA said on Friday.
It said in a statement team representatives had been summoned to an extraordinary meeting of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) World Motor Sport Council in Paris on Sept. 21.
The charges were "the team conspired with its driver, Nelson Piquet Jr, to cause a deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix with the aim of causing the deployment of the safety car to the advantage of its other driver, Fernando Alonso."
