Haas accuses Renault of breaking gentlemen's agreement

MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says Renault's protest against Romain Grosjean's car at the Italian Grand Prix broke a gentlemen's agreement between Formula One teams.

Grosjean's car finished sixth at Monza but was disqualified after Renault protested the dimensions of the Haas' floor. Haas has appealed that decision, maintaining that the stewards did not fully understand the complexities of situation surrounding the case, and a date has been set in early November for a hearing at the FIA's court of appeal.
