F1 boss presented a bleak vision of a series of future - snappy retort on the tip in the stables and FIAlle: We don't want to be involved in that

Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul painting from a German magazine in an interview quite a grim picture of the F1 series in the future.Video: IL:n Ville-Veikko Power and Janne Palomäki go through through 2019 driver changes.

the Renault F1 team is in a pretty desperate situation. Through 2019 is in the garage for the fourth the year 2016 began at six year plan, which should culminate in the fact that when the F1 rules went through to 2021 redone, the garage is ready to fight for another race win and world championship. Last year, F1's second division – the top three in the garage behind the fight – dominated the garage to the period 2019 to narrow the gap to Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bulliin.

the Step is logical, as in the period 2016 Renault was the manufacturers championship series nine (8 points), the period 2017 sixth (57) and last season fourth (122). The difference between the third instead has narrowed markedly, but on the other hand, the difference between MM-three Red Bulliin was still the last end of the season, 297 points.

Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul is pleased that the garage is not lift the person number already 1 200, but the reader is considerably less than Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull equivalent. German Auto Motor und Sport ' (AMuS) according to the tip of the garage has a staff of up to 1 600 employees. The giants also use considerably Renault more money.

our Activities are now eye level as we planned it to be. However, we thought then that the rivals we engage in such an arms race, in particular, Ferrari and Mercedes. It is of its own kind in the world, Abiteboul said Auto Motor und Sport.

Abiteboul afraid that even if his garage would do everything as well as possible, it is not necessarily sufficient for success.

our Goal was to work the tip of the garage level, but they have grown at the same pace with us. The numbers are already so big, that we don't have the ability or desire to answer them.

Resources related to Abiteboulin niggle also the fact that all three tip at the garage is subordinate to the so-called satellite team, test laboratories, enabling these to develop their own activities on two fronts. Renault has a corresponding partner is not.

the Ferrari will cooperate closely with both the Haas that Alfa Romeo, Mercedes is parallel to the situation in Racing, the Point with, and Red Bull is closely together with the Toro Rosso. AMuS reported that, for example, Haas car is up to 70-percent the same as a Ferrari car, and Abiteboulin according to just american rager has been affected by nykysuunta attack.

Haas has created a precedent. To me there is a time before the Hayrick and the time Haas. It has changed the F1-series – perhaps even permanently. Ten garage has changed four or five. Before I can beat a Ferrari, I need to beat Haas. What the harder it is, the more difficult it is to get the prize money or partners.

Winning is soon impossible, if you do not own a second garage. We see this situation as very serious – not only Renault's but for everyone who can not afford such. I don't know how this arms race should be stopped. These two stables are a part of it. The fia should understand this.

Abiteboul said very clearly that Renault does not want to jump in on this development.

– We don't want to be involved in F1.

for the Period 2021, The F1 series has been hinted at kulukatto, which is desired to make the competition more even. The tip of the stables have opposed the proposal, and Abiteboulin, it doesn't even solve the problem.

– It would be vice versa. If there is less money and resources, this garage between the cooperation offers the opportunity to the fact that one team can focus on aerodynamics and the other to the car frame. This would make these associations really strong. If again is our way apart from the others, there is no chance.
