Renault has given up on 2007 only 3 races in...

I pointed this out a couple of weeks ago in the Renault have the weakest driver line up thread. Keep up with the programme guys, this news is so 3 weeks ago

if you read in autosport Pat Simmons had dismissed that it is to do with the drivers, and had admitted that it is down to flaws in the car. I dont think the blame can be placed at Fisi or Kovalien. Also nigle red dont think alonson was 5 seconds a lap quickere then fisi

Nobody is 5 seconds a lap slower than Fisi - not even Ide. :

I agree with Valve, the problem is more likely driver than car. Alonzo would likely be right on pace in this year's car judging by the time comparisons.

You must be kidding.

no it has to be the car, just look at fisi. He is way off his pace of last year both in time, and in terms of success (points).

Alonso was always Flav's trump card and without Alonso, Ferrari would have creamed Renault for the past two years.

Renault was the best car for the last 2 years.

I agree with Valve, the problem is more likely driver than car. Alonzo would likely be right on pace in this year's car judging by the time comparisons. The tires are probably close to a second, and Alonzo's always been good for at least .5 second or more over Fisi. Flav needs to face the fact that his driver line up is now at best average.

The problem is clearly with the car, to suggest anything else is idiotic. Fisi and Kovalainen are both a bit slower than Alonso, but not by 2 seconds, which is the gap now.

Alonso was never 0,5 seconds per lap quicker than Fisi in equal conditions.
