2007 is a write off for the two times world constructors champions...


Renault has already started working on its 2008 car in order to solve some of the problems it now faces with the R27. Flavio Briatore does not want the team to lose time over trying to fix the current car and he believes the project should give the team a fresh perspective

"We have already started work on next year's car," Briatore was quoted as saying by Autosprint.

"It's futile messing about with this one, that's our aim. Whatever we find out, we can eventually use it on this year's car," he added.
if honda is considering going back to the RA07, why would Renault not consider returning to the R26, surely it would be more competitive...

FASTEST LAPS FOR RENAULT - Perhaps not a fair comparison due to regulation changes, but the Oz results beg to compare this year to last regardless...
