Renault claims Daniel Ricciardo was disqualified from qualifying for a 0.000001 second advantage after his MGU-K exceeded the maximum power output of 120kW.

The gain is equal to one microsecond and Renault claims it was caused by the Australian hitting a kerb, but conceded the rules were broken and therefore they would't be appealing his exclusion.

"Renault F1 Team acknowledges the decision from the FIA stewards to disqualify Daniel Ricciardo from the qualifying session of the Singapore Grand Prix," the team said in a statement.

"After he benefitted from an advantage measured at one-microsecond due to a kerb hit that caused his MGU-K to over-rev on his slowest lap of Q1.

"The decision will therefore not be appealed."

The race stewards explained their decision to disqualify Ricciardo hinged on the wording of the rules, whereby claiming no advantage was claimed is not sufficient enough to avoid a penalty.

"The team’s defence rested on two points. First, that the excess was very small and offered no measurable benefit. Second, that the excess occurred during the second fastest lap during Q1. The team explained to the stewards how they believe the excess occurred, however the stewards consider this information to be confidential to the team, and not relevant to this decision.

"Notwithstanding the team’s arguments, the stewards take note of the very clear wording of Article 1.2.2 ISC, which states that “If an Automobile is found not to comply with the applicable technical regulations, it shall be no defense to claim that no performance advantage was obtained."

Ricciardo qualified eighth but will start the race from the back of the grid.
