Are Renault allowed to 'modify' their engines?
Wonder how long the FIA will last?
Renault are hugely important to Redbollox so the FIA will grant consessions allowing them to make realiability modifications.
cant believe you guys havent seen the pattern?

You should meet Gary Walker
but you will have some fun discussions with DJ. 
It seems wrong to me too actually that Renault should be able to do any tweaking. They get to improve things which Mercedes don't because they have designed a more reliable engine.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

The POS French power plant and the prancing pony dinasour are inferior to the innovative and revolutionary German monster.
Toady Todt will have his ear bent from Paris to Salzburg to Maranello. Renault will be allowed to make reliability modifications and suddenly their engine will be the strongest out there again just like last time. Whats the betting splitting the turbine and air intake will be a reliability change
The Bull is the best chassis and wont stop threatening to pull out of F1 until Renault are allowed to cheat a better powerplant.

Has there actually been an official word from Renault? I've only ever heard whinging from Red BS, Ferrari, Bernie and the AusGP organisers.

Last thing I heard was that Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes - so all of them - requested permission to make reliability mods
