Let us still remember the words of the French factory team Renault, which set a total goal of nofourth place. Five races before the end of the championship are recorded 33 points lag for McLarn. On average, they should make up for the race seven pointsto eventually overtake his motor partner. "It's a long way and the closer we get to the end of the season, the harder it will be, understandably, harder for us,”He is aware Cyril Abiteboul.
For while there were fewer and fewer races, it is Renaultlagging behind McLarn remained more or less stable. Already after the race in Hockenheim were recorded 31 points lag. It means to lag behind the last five races it has hardly changed. And now it's up to end of season five more races in which he will have Renault an opportunity to make up for his backlog. “Mathematically, it is still possible, which is why we will not write off this place yet. It is still our ambition and goal,He added combatively Abiteboul, which at the same time emphasizes: "In fact, the prize has been quite small in recent weeks, considering that the car has good potential since the summer break."
The French are only in the race in Italy won good number of points namely 22. The remaining three races, however, were a disappointment. Four points v Belgium, two c Singapore and finally only one point in Russia. With such results they will difficult to reduce lag behind McLarn. "We had four qualifiers where both cars were in the top ten. But three of the four races were overshadowed by unwanted incidents. However, I do not intend to attribute everything to these events. We need to make sure that doesn't happen,”So the team boss. V They connect both racers received penalty of mark-up of places due to engine replacement, v Singapore was Ricciardo subsequently disqualified, v Sochi but again they did not go according to plan.
"Daniel's contact with Giovinazzi in the first lap made sure the car was impassable,”He explained Abiteboul. Many were injured in the process aerodynamic parts and the end was with the balance of the race car, which is why Ricciardo gave up. “Nico lost a few places at the start and then a virtual safety car arrived at the wrong time,”He added French in view of his other racer. Besides, he had Nemec even problems with a stop in the pits, which cost him an extra place.
"Taken as a whole, this was again a frustrating weekend without a prize. It's really a shame, because our car has good potential,”He gets angry Abiteboul, who also knows he can't buy anything from it. “We just have to score points."It simply came to our notice then Suzuka, which on paper is not the best track for Renault, so Abiteboul. In doing so, however, Renault needs at least one more such result as they achieved in Monzato reduce the backlog by McLarn. On top of that, there is also the time left until end of season, is not on their side.
