Slegla se malo prašina oko ovog Ricovog prelaska i kada pogledam ništa logičnije nije moglo da se desi. Nije ovo nikakav šok. 

 

Retko ko spominje i uzima kao glavni motiv novac. Ako je Renault ponudio lupam 20, a RB 15m po sezoni razlika je ogromna. 10 milki su velike pare za dve godine čak i za ovako vrhunskog vozača. Po štampi se vuku neke sulude cifre od 35m$, ali to nema šanse. 

 

Ric sa druge strane RB-u jednostavno nije bio pod moranje i na neki način njima su se savršeno sklopile kockice. Dobili su zamenu u vozaču koji je vrhunski talenat i što je jako važno Hondin čovek - Gasly. Njemu se sigurno pravi mesto u timu i verijem da je Ricu ponuđen ugovor od samo godinu dana. Nisu horny&čmarko bili šokirani ovom odlukom, znali su jako dobro šta rade i šta je plan B

Abiteboul says the chance to sign one of Formula 1's top stars to a permanent deal was too good to pass on.

"Esteban was on the short list and Carlos was also considered, but Ricciardo was the only option," Abiteboul told RMC.

"In addition to him being the best, we made sure we had a driver one hundred per cent at Renault.

"It was too great an opportunity to lose it.

"Only once every two or three years does such an occasion appear. The next time the train passes with one of the best drivers could be after 2021."

Renault's push to increase its works Formula 1 team's headcount by 50 per cent since rejoining the grid hurt its efficiency and "bang-for-buck" while developing its 2018 challenger.
Since reclaiming 'Team Enstone' from Lotus ahead of the 2016 season, Renault has been on an aggressive recruitment drive that will have boosted a staff of 470 to 700 by the end of this year.


That push, which has come alongside upgrading the Enstone base's facilities, has posed a significant challenge in integrating staff and impacted the efficiency of the operation.

Renault F1 boss Cyril Abiteboul told Motorsport.com: "It's a challenge because we are not talking about a couple of heads, we are talking about hundreds of heads.


"You can tactically recruit one or two people but when you are talking about dozens of people it doesn't work the same way and you need to have good integration.

"We had a very low efficiency this season, if we look at the sort of bang-for-buck and how we are controlling the car build, the way that, unfortunately, we have overspent on car build.

"All of that is relative to the way that we have increased. So, rather than chasing huge numbers in terms of headcount, we now need to think about how to work better between the different departments, and alleviating the bottleneck we have in the organisations."

Renault has been doubling the size of its composites facility at Enstone over the summer break, an expansion that will alleviate a delay in producing parts.

This will allow it to better utilise the quality of its facilities, including a windtunnel based at the factory.

Renault has still enacted significant staffing changes this year, most notably the move of Marcin Budkowski from the FIA to Renault's executive director.

Former chief technical officer Bob Bell has also moved into to a part-time advisory role and will not be replaced.

Abiteboul sees the team growing further after 2018, at a reduced rate.

"We will be going further than that [the 700 headcount target] because we think we have to," said Abiteboul.

"But we don't want to go crazy, because I think we are reaching a point where the market does not have many more good candidates to offer.

"We have to think about the quality of the people who are available there."

 

"Efficiency is the keyword for the acceleration of what Enstone has to do on the chassis side.

"On the engine side, it's a bit different, it's more just acceleration, the speed at which we are developing the engine."

Spec C oko 30 ks +
 

We just have to hope that Christian is not on Sky when they have a problem

[alpiner]

Renault's Spec C is base for top engine - Carlos Sainz Jr.

Carlos Sainz Jr believes Renault will "finally make an engine at the level of Mercedes and Ferrari" next season after its latest Formula 1 upgrade made its debut in Italy last weekend.

Renault customer team Red Bull used the new 'Spec C' engine at Monza, with Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen reporting satisfactory gains in line with Renault's 0.3s estimate.

Sainz, who will leave the Renault works team to join its other customer McLaren in 2019, says the manufacturer should be encouraged by the Spec C's debut.

"The C-spec is the baseline of next year's engine," said Sainz.

"It looks to be working well in the Red Bull, and they look pretty pleased with that.

"That's a good step. It's a shame that we didn't have it this year because it would make our life a lot easier against the Haas and against the Force Indias.

"I have faith that Renault is going to finally make an engine at the level of Mercedes and Ferrari.

"Together with that partnership with McLaren I hope to have a better year than this one."

Verstappen almost scored a podium at Monza after keeping Valtteri Bottas's Mercedes behind on-track through the entire grand prix.

However, the Dutchman also declared earlier in the weekend that Renault was costing Red Bull about a second in performance at the Italian circuit.

Sainz, who as with team-mate Nico Hulkenberg is sticking with the Spec B engine because Renault has reliability concerns over the Spec C, said anything Renault can learn from Monza will not be applied during the current campaign.

"We won't have many more developments on the engine side, we need to focus on the car," said Sainz.

"It's good that they [Red Bull] run it because the engine guys can learn from that and put the findings into next year's development."

The Renault team holds a slender lead in the fight for fourth in the constructors' championship, but only because it protested the Haas of Romain Grosjean at Monza.

Grosjean was disqualified from the results for running an illegal floor, giving Renault a 10-point lead.

Asked if the Spec B will be enough to defeat Haas, which has beaten Renault on-track at the last three grands prix and has an upgraded Ferrari engine, Sainz said he hoped Renault's chassis developments would help.

Renault will bring upgraded bargeboards and turning vanes to the next race in Singapore next weekend.

"I know the chassis department and the aero department are pushing flat out," he said.
"We're obviously stuck with this type of engine until the end of the year.

"If the aero parts work and we make it to the finish in P4, everyone will be proud, everyone will be happy."

Ricciardo sets deadline for Renault title success

 

Today, 13:19 , by Matthew Scott

Daniel Ricciardo says he has targeted 2021 to become world champion with Renault. All eyes will be on the respective fortunes of Ricciardo and Red Bull, with the Australian keeping ties to the French brand while his team are jumping ship to Honda.

 

 

Red Bull's frustrations with Renault's failure to keep pace with Mercedes and Ferrari in the V6 Hybrid era has led them to Honda – a partnership those within the team have already spoken positively about.

Ricciardo reportedly grew concerned about his standing in comparison to Max Verstappen at Red bull and, while the Dutchman has suggested a title tilt could be in the offing next year, Ricciardo's sights are set a little lower.

Asked by AS if he had set a date to win his first title, Ricciardo joked: "Five years ago!

"I mean, 2014 I believe I drove well enough to be world champion that year, so for me it's already overdue.

 

 

"But now, starting this next journey, realistically I would say 2021, I want to be world champion that year."

Although the title may not be on the cards in 2019, Ricciardo is not writing the season off completely.

"My goal is to…I think a few things," he said.

"As a team to get their best result possible. I don't know now what their best is for the last few years, but if it's sixth, I want to finish fifth, for example.

"I also want to prove to myself and to other people that it was the right decision, I guess to prove some people wrong.

"And just grow with the team and to feel the progress, to be part of that, and to feel like their investment in me was worthwhile."

Renault has appointed Thierry Koskas (54) to be the new President of Renault Sport Racing. He will replace the current incumbent Jerome Stoll, who is 65 in March and is retiring. Koskas was previously the company's global marketing director and a member of the Renault Executive Committee.

Koskas is a graduate of France's elite Ecole Polytechnique, from which the graduates, known as Xs, go on to leading roles in business and politics. Graduates include three French Presidents: notably Valery Giscard d'Estaing. Among those in the business world are France's wealthiest man Bernard Arnault, Renault boss Carlos Ghosn, and CEOs of most of France's major companies such as Safran, Total, Saint-Gobain, Arcelor, Vivendi, Alstom, Air France, Suez, and many more. He was also a graduate of the Ecole des Mines engineering school. Sfter seven years working for the government he joined Renault in 1997 and has since had roles in Britain, Hungary and at head office, as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Asia and Africa Region, head of Renault Argentina and also director of the company's electric vehicle programmes.

Koskas will take up his position at the start of 2019, reporting to Renault’s group chairman and chief executive officer Carlos Ghosn.

The team said: "After a season marked by the progress of the Renault Sport Formula One Team, Thierry Koskas will aim to continue with Cyril Abiteboul, Managing Director of Renault Sport Racing, the work started by Jérôme Stoll and bring the team to the highest level of the discipline. He will also ensure that Formula 1's contribution to Renault's brand awareness worldwide is strengthened."

Ghosn je ubacio jednog od svojih glavnih menadžera. Zaljubljenik u trke

Videćemo koliko može da se uradi sa trenutno 30% manjim budžetom od Top 3-ke.

Biće ovo jebena vožnja i mnogo slađa pobeda ako je doživimo

Carlos Ghosn Allegedly Arrested For Under-Reporting Income

Nissan is expected to fire him in the new few days.

Nissan has issued an official press release confirming the reports and saying an internal investigation within the company has been conducted over the past several months. The investigation revealed that "over many years both Ghosn and Kelly have been reporting compensation amounts in the Tokyo Stock Exchange securities report that were less than the actual amount, in order to reduce the disclosed amount of Carlos Ghosn's compensation."

The automaker has also confirmed that "numerous other significant acts of misconduct have been uncovered, such as personal use of company assets, and Kelly's deep involvement has also been confirmed."

Check out the press release section below for more details.

Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper reports that Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has been arrested in Japan last evening for violating the country’s financial laws. The information was brought to our attention by Automotive News, but no other local media is confirming the report, so the situation is not entirely clear at the moment.

Ghosn is one of the highest-paid executives, if not the highest-paid, in Japan, but is believed to have under-reported his incomes over the last couple of years by millions of dollars and used corporate assets for personal use. It is expected that Nissan will fire him in the next few days together with board member Greg Kelly, who is reported to be “deeply involved” in the scheme.
 
Whether that’s going to happen or not remains questionable at the moment, but reports suggest that Nissan CEO, Hiroto Saikawa, will recommend to the board of directors that Ghosn will be fired. The Japanese automaker is not willing to discuss the matter at this point.
One of the modern automotive industry’s heroes, Ghosn is a controversial figure in Japan mainly because of his outsized salary. It was expected that he will retire as chairman of the French-Japanese alliance in the next couple of years, but not before finalizing the process of restructuring the company.
