Renault face Formula 1 fix fate The future of the Renault Formula 1 team will be decided by the sport's governing body at a hearing on Monday.
The FIA could permanently exclude the team, who will not contest charges that they ordered Brazilian Nelson Piquet to crash in the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.
However, it is thought more likely that Renault will be issued with a heavy fine or suspended ban.
Piquet has immunity from prosecution and former team-mate Fernando Alonso is unlikely to face punishment.
The FIA agreed not to pursue action against the Brazilian for his role in uncovering the details of the scandal, while the organisation has said it has no reason to suspect Alonso knew anything of the plot apparently agreed between the team's two bosses and Piquet.
