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.
I never thought I would say this, but I like the sound of this engines now, especially on accelerationJuzh wrote: ↑17 Jul 2019, 13:11ricciardo chasing sainz last few laps

And HUL... I don't know where he will be next year.
On French TV, OCO was commentating the race, they were laughing with the TV presenter about " The pretty yellow car" and " You like the losange don't you?"
There a strong possibility to see OCO in the Renault next year.
Especially when after the race Abiteboul is not very happy with HUL, saying he's got a "mental issue"
Perhaps Hulk would perform better if they actually let him pit? Still, I suppose Abiteboul has to find other people to blame for Renault's current appalling performance. How a works team regularly loses to a customer is mind boggling. And as for Renault's engine development, being outperformed by Honda is...sub-optimal.
Engine is not behind Honda. Actually this is the only positive point so far for 2019 regarding Renault.Espresso wrote: ↑24 Jul 2019, 11:32Well Abiteboul is clearly in debt with Ocon.

And from last race...it looks like the last episode of Game of Abiteboul is on.
Somehow they're starting to side-line Hulkenberg with a mediocre final chapter...
Other then that Abiteboul finally seems to be waking up and admitting both engine and chassis were not up to standards. Hope he doesn't start daydreaming....
The engine is finally getting there. He just needs to admit that they're behind Honda at the moment and need to step up their game.
The chassis....well same like McLaren...it takes a heavy blow in the stomach to find out/admit its just a bad chassis.
Hopefully they find the way up, like the insurgent McLaren.
It's not a little issue. It's huge issue. You would rather have car which is balanced in all corners but lacks downforce overall to put fast laps, rather than be fast in some and slow in others. Which means you would be going from track to track and not know what to experience, what problems to encounter and where to qualify etc. For example go to Canada and be faster than one Red Bull and then go to Austria and be backmarker of mid.
I don't agree with it being the only positive point. Think Renault's car in general isn't bad, it should be better but they aren't terrible. I think it's part of the learning process. not every team has the benefit of having a Newey.Jambier wrote: ↑26 Jul 2019, 09:54Engine is not behind Honda.

Now Abiteboul is telling that chassis is very good in low speed, very good in straight line, but that they have a fundamental issue at medium speed corners.
As usual, he is telling that like it is a success, a very good car with just a litte issue

BTW, who is the Aero hero at Renault ?
renault are below honda unfortunately and in race modes honda are match to mercedes. its pretty clear. mclaren selfproclaimed one of the best chassis are showing the true potential of renault.Engine is not behind Honda. Actually this is the only positive point so far for 2019 regarding Renault.

Hulk is a strong upper midfield driver, but not top tier, maybe he got a bit nervous yesterday.
Christ...
