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.
Do not worry super Cyril told us that losing Mclaren makes no difference at all.marmer wrote: ↑02 Nov 2019, 09:57Combined with the fact that he outpriced his engine so now they only supply themselves ....Mclarensenna wrote: ↑02 Nov 2019, 02:35"Dirk de Beer is back at Enstone as Head of Aerodynamics"
Cyril brings in the aero guy who helped create the slowest car on the grid and ultimately the slowest car in Williams 40+ year history.
Cyril has really outdone himself this time!
But I assume that "no one" can work at williams, look at paddy lowe
he would have passed ricardo assuming he had no other issues. albon managed it and he pitted after major contact with sainz on lap 1 and was lastScorpaguy wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 21:07Sorry if this is a bit off topic or has been covered before...but standing trackside for the first time this year...
...why does the Renault sound SO different from the other makes. Its tone was much deeper and throatier than anything (sans the Mcl of course...but even it was no where close). Downshifting into turn 20, the Renault sounded a car in a different class??? Very deep in tone...almost like it was running MUCH less RPMs. Why?
Also, not sure Vet would have ever repassed Ric on the track...superb drive. One that was well recieved by the throng.
He was better than whoever replaced him at Williams .... maybe he'll end at McLaren under PP?
Doug McKiernan from McLaren replaced de Beer at Williams, and also Ed Wood, the chief designer. De Beer and Wood supposedly left by mutual consent ‘for personal reasons’. The general interpretation is that they took the fall for the failure of the FW41. It’ll be interesting to see how he slots in at Renault. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with his work at Ferrari.
I remember McLaren stated it as one of the reasons but it wasn't the only reason for the change and I can't find the article. As I remember the difference was a few Million.
Variety of factors. Impossible to know exactly why. All four manufacturers sound noticeably different from each other, combustion style, fuel, timing characteristics, firing order, exhaust layout (to name a few) I would say. The Renault has always had the lowest tone on the grid throughout the years though.Scorpaguy wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 21:07Sorry if this is a bit off topic or has been covered before...but standing trackside for the first time this year...
