20. Renault DNF (59laps)
21. Renault DNF (34laps)
22. Renault DNF (24laps)
Mercedes had all 8/8 cars finish (100%) and on the lead lap and took 7/10 point scoring positions.
Ferrari had all 2/6 cars finish (33.3%) and on the lead lap and took 2/10 point scoring positions.
Renault had all 1/8 cars finish (12.5%) and on the lead lap and took 1/10 point scoring positions.
Perhaps the Everyone-Renault relationship is falling apart. Especially for Red Bull at their home GP, of four cars in two teams, 3 failed to finish and the best that they could muster was 8th. Of course Red Bull are openly criticizing Renault.
Renault's engines for 2014 are objectively rubbish.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Well Ferrari doesn't look too good, too. With the rules enforcing an engine Apartheid through the development freeze I don't see any change at the horizon.

And who are Nissan partnered with... Renault! Nissan aren't going to compete against Renault in F1 unless they end their partnership first. (Although maybe Nissan think the Renault engine is making their sponsorship of Red Bull look bad.)

Nissan might finance the same engine against themselves. It's not like Renault's engines haven't had this sort of thing before. Mecachrome, Supertec, Playlife, Renault... how hard would it be to stick another badge on the engine?
To that end, Ferrari's customer engines could be rebranded Maserati, Lancia or FIAT if they really wanted to keep the integrity of their own name intact.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

One interesting thing is that Ferrari did figure out the business model that affords them the ability to develop their own engine, so its not entirely impossible I guess. I have read somewhere that the Red Bull team is already running at profit, because their prize money and sponsors provide enough money to cover all expenses. This could allow the Red Bull parent company to cough out some money for engine development, perhaps in cooperation with Cosworth and Infiniti. If they could build a good engine, it could also find its way into other F1 cars, potentially removing the need to own and sponsor "Toro Rosso", Red Bull's "B team".
