Renault F1 Team has announced a restructuring of its aerodynamics department ahead of the 2020 season as it continues to strengthen its organisation for the challenge and opportunity offered by the 2021 regulations.
Hulk had engine in safe mode for nearly the entire lap, should have been in top 6-7 cars as before. Avocado did better than expected, though.Mclarensenna wrote: ↑31 Mar 2019, 00:172018 Bahrain Hulk qualifies 8th and was 1.612 seconds off Pole

Renault has not only made no progress towards the top teams but instead is going backwards.
Cyril definately needs to go as these results are shocking for a works team.
Dan was 2-3/10ths quicker on every qually run than Nico and considering he's still learning the Renault team etc I don't think there's any excuse for Nico being so slow.
I hope not. We need technical director and car designer fired soon as possible so RS20 still can end up being not garbage like RS18 and RS19. This season ended long time ago, likely on 2nd test in Barcelona. Now we need full preparation for 2020.

“We unfortunately suffered a couple of issues with the car at the worst possible time during qualifying. We lost performance and there was no chance of fixing anything in a short amount of time
Alan Permane, Sporting Director
“It has been a difficult qualifying session for the team today. We faced a number of issues that cost significant performance, the most expensive one being an engine mapping issue generating an engine safe mode almost the entire lap. It is disappointing but we will aim to make progress up the grid in tomorrow’s race.”
Is Alan talking about every fast lap or just the last lap where Hulk failed to improve and Dan found over a second to get into Q2?r101 wrote: ↑31 Mar 2019, 09:12

I think the issue with Hulk's car might leave him starting from the pits..PowerandtheGlory wrote: ↑31 Mar 2019, 11:08Renault have a chance of point in the race, if they can get into that gap behind the haas.. the trouble is I think the racing point will hold everyone up and the top 7 will pull away. PU showing well in the Mclaren..
