Background: French carmaker Renault will decide by the end of the year whether to stay in Formula One after a race-fixing scandal that has badly damaged the team's reputation.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. Any limit on their participation in form of a specific year or season would settle "to quit" - any other form of participation, without fixing its duration, even in conditional form, would settle "to stay".
