HIGHLIGHTING THE DIFFERENCES: MONTREAL DEMONSTRATES GAP BETWEEN RENAULT-POWERED F1 TEAMS I
If Renault were supposed to be McLaren’s main target, then their performances would look better on paper. However, Red Bull have proven that you can win races as a Renault customer in 2018 and continue to complete demonstrations of their well-designed RB14 chassis.
Whilst it’s tougher to compare McLaren’s problematic race to the Red Bull benchmark, the performance gap between Renault and Red Bull was night-and-day in Montreal; Max Verstappen had lapped both Renaults by the end of the race, and the gap would’ve been greater without the intervention of the early safety car. Red Bull’s power units will definitely be no worse than the Renault works team’s.
With Red Bull marginally behind Mercedes and Ferrari in performance, they have a genuine case to question ‘what if’ regarding a potential boost with a different power unit supplier, but in an industry which constantly deals in fractions of a second, the scope for improvement from McLaren – especially for their 2019 car – appears to be ginormous.
