Do you think this is unusual? See Michael Schumacher and Ferrari for a long list of team orders, intentional crashes and silly stunts. Hell, David Coulthard spent most of his career intentionally obstructing red cars, and occasionally driving into them. It's part of the sport, why treat Renault like a criminal when the bigger teams have been getting away with it for years?
