Renault’s tension
Renault F1 team head Cyril Abiteboul has admitted to tensions behind the scenes at the struggling squad. Renault returned to F1 as a full works outfit this year but has struggled after a late start following its buy-out of Lotus. Abiteboul said: “There is tension because of the performance. Look at Red Bull, there was lots of tension last year, and ask Mercedes when they have not performed. I’m not shocked by the situation and I absolutely can handle it.”
