We can say they are fans Renault and both racers Nice Hülkenberg in Daniel Ricciard honestly worried - especially after the performances at both trainings. Especially on the other, when they are both the racer took 17th and 18th places, which meant they were only faster than Williams. The first training session was not too good either, as they took only 13th and 14th places the second workout could cause a lot of headaches. Some will think, as it’s just training, but that’s not entirely true. For Renault could have extreme consequences.
Because if they will qualifications, which are due to the typhoon Hagibis already postponed to Sunday morning, canceled, will the starting order of Sunday's race gave another free practice. It means they will Ricciardo in Hulkenberg the race started with the penultimate starting line. Their main competitor for the fourth overall place in the construction championship McLaren, but would have both race cars in the top ten. For The French really bad starting point. But why did Renault go so far back in training? Last but not least, the team was brought to Suzuko new front wings and other improvements, so they should be better, not worse.
But that was also the case, so Nick Chester. "We drove with a new front wing that improved the handling of the car, but only if we found the right setting and balance,”So the technical boss Renault. And yet it was a shot past the target. The reasoning, however, is very simple and sounds like a name traffic. 90 minutes was not enough to find an empty space on the track at least once. “We stayed in traffic because others were on the race simulation, so it all ended up being able to just drive around,Says Chester.
"Unfortunately, both of my fast laps were disabled due to traffic," confirm Daniel Ricciardo. "We are better than what the timeline shows. I don’t think we’re far from where we’d like to be. I hope that we will succeed in good qualifications and thus a better starting place for the race."But first, he has to get to the qualifiers first. But even if they do happen, and despite Ricciard's optimism, obviously Renault is not quite ready yet. "It was a tough Friday. Between the two workouts, we changed some things that helped us. We also had some problems with balance, and bigger problems with grip, especially in the first sector,”He said Nico Hulkenberg.
But overall, the matter is definitely better, according to the German. “We were working on it and by the end of the day we were already happy with these improvements," so Hulkenberg. “After a difficult morning, we improved the car for the second practice and made good progress,”He confirmed Ricciardo. Of course, there is no question that this is good. But popular Hulk he adds: "The times are not entirely representative because we did not drive them synchronously with others."
