After today there is no other team deserving of that 4th championship place. Today fate stole a hard fought 5th place. Also Ron we had the same problems with Mercedes back then. Still though it's a pity.

But as the others have said just like with Honda Formula 1 is not a charity. If Renault doesn't deliver soon then we might go back to Mercedes.

Still though the car literally stopped. Even with vibrations on the front left you can't just like 18 seconds in a lap.

McLaren told Dutch television it was the engine.

Yeah, it needs to be catastrophic. In Bahrain one of Renaults shut down similar to this. Given that Norris said "I'm out" I'd say the engine either shut down or ran out of fuel. Perhaps Renault has issue running on low fuel.

Remember Bahrain this year, when both Renaults DNFd? We have average luck.

Seems like an Order 66 handed out by Abiteboul, what a shame...
Two stroke: a little more than half the power, twice as often.
