Renault seems to be paying the price for years and years of under-investment at Enstone. While some of that isn't their fault, still, the infrastructure and personnel issues seem to be hampering their ability to make solid, lasting progress.

I like Hulkenberg. I was happy when he landed a ride with a factory outfit. I'm not sure what more they expected from him, but I'd say that this move is more about Ocon being a young talent than anything Nico did wrong. If Hulk winds up at Haas, I think that'll be good for both parties. I really feel like he'll be a more constructive addition to the team than Grosjean ever was. And Haas might be a good place for him to wind down his career. It's probably the best that he can expect at this stage.
