2019 Mclaren F1 Team - Renault

[diffuser]

AMuS:

Lando Norris gets his fourth drive unit and starts from the very back. Carlos Sainz will try the engine on Friday, which cost him the race in Spa. It was repairable and Renault wants to see if it can be used later in the season. The engine miseries in Spa brought McLaren after a long time again a zero. "Our reliability is not brilliant, but not as bad as it looked in Spa," Sainz defends his team and engine partner Renault. The Spaniard notes: "Renault has made a huge leap in power over the winter. There is not much left to Mercedes and Ferrari. "

Also Norris takes in the stability Renault in protection: "The greater part of the problems was with us." To his engine damage said the 18-year-old Englishman: "The error is found. The problem has never occurred before and apparently can easily be corrected. Am I confident that it will never happen again? That's what they have to ask the engineers."

I think so. Appears to be searching for silver linings in Renault factory team's reliability in Spa.

So instillation issue?

That statement was too vague to come to that conclussion.

Footage of Lando's Spa PU failure not broadcasted during the race shows smoke pluming out of the car.

. What do you mean by engine freeze?

Renault wants engine to be frozen starting 2021, like they were in V8 era.
So only reliability upgrade.

Renault wants to have an F1 program that is self financed, otherwise they'll quit.
So engine freeze, budget cap are key for them

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification!

New PU for Lando, confirmed.

Steady start, unrepresentative, but steady...

2nd and 3rd in FP1... podium here we come 🥴

I feel that there are some teams that are quicker than us to set up the car, this changeable weather concerns me a bit, hope we can get into the sweet spot by Qualy.

True, but most of the time, we eventually get there.

FP2 will be interesting, If the track dried out that is. I kind of expect Renault works team higher up (hete in Monza) since they lack the downforce McLaren has clearly found this year.

Lando out of the car, Albert Fabrega thinks it can be hydraulic related.

Edit: just removed the floor
