Renault have used up the first of their four allowed curfew exceptions in Monza after they worked late on Thursday evening preparing the R31 for Friday.
“Last night team personnel of the Lotus Renault GP team, who are associated with the operation of the car, were within the confines of the circuit during the six hour period which commenced at 01:00 on 09 September, nine hours before the scheduled start time of P1,” read a statement from the FIA.
“This was the first of the four individual exceptions permitted for the Lotus Renault GP team during the 2011 Formula 1 Championship and therefore no action should be taken.”
