There's a few cases each year and treatment is simple enough.

After Ricciardo they should have learn their lesson imo. Or maybe they want an rear end in a top hat who tells them they loving suck and maybe improve from there?

The contrast in engine sound between that and ferrari is striking, the Renault sounds smooth and consistent whereas all of Charles's upshifts were shuddering like a 2015 Honda

What bugs me with Alonso and Kimi (and to a lesser degree Vettel and Stroll. Hulk and Kubica don't count cause they're out) is how there's decent fast kids out there who could be taking these spots. Kimi is doing nothing (bwoar ice cream and poo poo!) and it's not like the car is improving much with his experience, send him out to pasture and get some kid from F2 in there.

I guess it will be something to watch Alonso ruin yet more one team? And who knows maybe Renault will pull a McLaren when he's gone

Ocon is the star of the future for Renault.

Alonso is just the prestige signing trying to milk whatever worth he has and to be a chip for arguing that Renault F1 Team should continue to exist as there's a 2x WDC driving for them again. You know... the guy who won the WDC 14 loving years ago with them.

Very good OP. He says its poo poo all the time so the engineers know that the car they worked on is poo poo and they should make it less poo poo.

Unironic answer is yes all because when he was forced to take that year out and become Renault's test driver back when test driving actually was a thing and the test drivers would routinely put in more km's than the actual race team drivers.

Also will all this diversity push they are doing why the gently caress they dont rush a women to fill some main team seats. There is no way in hell there is no a women driver worse than Grossjean, Kubica, Raikkonen, Giovanazzi, or Magnussen.

Let's develop this car by not using a garbage engine that has only been tested on a single cylinder was a pretty astute observation also.

the reason kimi sticks around is because his race pace is theoretically still good and he gives great feedback which is something young drivers tend to not be great at. its one of the reasons kubica sticks around (on top of his sponsor money ofc)

alonso isn’t really known for development he’s just an rear end in a top hat who is good at driving. he’s never helped develop poo poo tho he usually out drives the car
