Thoughts?
I think that this year RBR have found that their 4XWDC is a pretty average driver and that it's in better drivers they need to invest in for immediate performance updates rather than the Renault engine.

In truth, I don't think they will miss Vettel single one bit and I think you'll find that Ricciardo is more than capable of leading them back to the top along with Kvyat. They may have to invest in the engine to achieve this though but that decision will have nothing to do with Vettel leaving.
