Fissi seems to think that Renault will fight back as soon as they get to grips (no pun) with their new tyres.
I'm sorry but I really don't think so. Renault have dropped of the pace and lets face it Alonso was Renault. This year Fissi finished 5th, 66 seconds behind the leader at Aus and last year also finiahed 5th nearly 40 seconds behind but with multiple saftey cars he would probably have finished further back. Just quickly browsing the results last year Fissi finished about 30-60seconds back from Alonso most times last year so I doubt very much Renault can find 0.5-1 sec per lap to raise Fissi to the front of the grid. Fernando had been flattering the Renault all last season and now in the hands of a less than super tallent they will repeat their 1995-1996 fall from grace.
Does anyone see Renault coming back to the front this year?
