Renault for sources within Formula 1 at the same time, it ranks third at best in the performance scale when it comes to powertrains. Classic Ferrari for sale it is supposed to be, so to speak, the best, and it is close to the Italians Mercedes Benz. But it is Renault that is now the first engine manufacturer to publicly boast that it has managed to reach or surpass the magical 1.000 hp mark. Even if the head of Renault's engine engines Remy Taffin explain: “We cannot recall this capability at any time. These are only certain current maximum values in the qualifications. ” But still. 163 out of over 1.000 hp may be contributed by a hybrid system with two electric motors. The rest comes conventionally from an internal combustion engine.
Max Verstappen, whose team Red Bullbut was ultimately very unhappy with Renault that they even risked working with Hondo, made only a mockery of these allegations from France: "If they really have 1.000 horses, then they have a really bad race car!" Because the factory team is currently in sixth place in the construction championship. "We prefer to talk to the results rather than the media," yet Max points one poisonous arrow in the direction of the former engine supplier. And another interesting fact: Daniel Ricciardo, a Renault racer, apparently knows nothing about his employer exceeding the 1.000 hp mark. After yesterday's qualifications for the Hungarian GP, where he did not exactly prove himself, he said in astonishment: “1.000 KM? This is new to me. Sounds bad! But I haven't heard anything about it myself. "
If claims Renault held, then we can be sure that Ferrari and Mercedes also reached this peak of 1.000 hp a long time ago. Because their so-called "Party-Mode”Are considered stronger than Renault’s.
