MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Renault were stripped of their nine points from the Japanese Grand Prix on Wednesday after Formula One's governing body ruled the cars driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Hulkenberg had illegal driver aids.

Australian Ricciardo and German Hulkenberg were classified sixth and 10th at the Oct.13 race in Suzuka but the Racing Point team protested against the brake bias system used by the French manufacturer.
