After 5 years Renault admit their PU has reached a development dead end and will bring a completely new one next season.

Anybody have a complete list of PU quotes from Cyril the clown?

It does sound like they're changing the layout, probably using info from that FIA hack they hired to go the split turbo Merc / Honda route:

However it's become clear to Renault that the development potential of the engine is limited and they have therefore chosen to go down a new development path with a new power unit design, which Renault F1 managing director Cyril Abiteboul believes will enable greater gains.


"Given the ambition in terms of power improvement for next year, pretty much all of the engine will be new," added Abiteboul. "Not only on ERS side, because there is little power and little performance to extract there, but the rest of the ICE will be new.

So just like this season Renault will have the least power and have the worst reliability next season.

Ferrari brought a new floor I hear. These guys should stop with all the aero work and instead put some armor plate around the car so that Sebastian can plow through other cars, tire walls etc. Much better chance to win than all the aero crap.

He managed to survive most of his antics, so I'd say they've already got that part down.

That weekend, man. It had everything. Maldonado winning, Frank's birthday, his birthday candles or whatever setting light to their garage.

Yup it was incredible at the moment~ :)

I was on a F1 podcast... the only one where we forgot to talk about the winner xD

Apparently Vettel has been called to the stewards for a red flag issue?
