F1 | Renault, Prost: "In 2018 we aim to reduce the gap from 1"5 to 0"8 per lap"

Gradually closing the gap with the top teams: Alain Prost he doesn't indulge in flights of fancy but believes in the policy of small steps. The special advisor to the Renault, to Car Hebdo, illustrated the path that the Enstone team will have to take in 2018 in order not to get burned: "I think you have to be realistic and be careful in setting our goals. The teams in front of us have been growing for years, we need to evolve step by step, but continue to demonstrate that we are progressing” – explained the four-time world champion.

“We must recognize this to reduce the gap to Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull” – continued Prost. “Next year we have to show that we are capable of moving on from a gap of 1"5 per lap at a gap of 0"8. That's how we'll do it. We don't just have to build the car, but also the team spirit and attention to detail".
