Renault: track tests completed, focus continues on in-house development

The curtain has fallen in Barcelona on Renault's winter tests, the development of the R28 will now continue at the Enstone and Viry Chatillon sites in view of the opening race of the world championship, while Alonso and Piquet will now move to Australia to complete their development programme. train and get used to the time zone.

Christian Silk, Chief Test Engineer:
"There was an extensive program to complete in these three days and we were quite ambitious about the things to try. For the most part, we managed to complete everything we wanted and we finished our entire work in time for Melbourne. In the period that separates us from the first race, we have to rearrange the cars as best as possible and introduce all the new parts tested on them, thus making them fit into the specific race. There is obviously more work to do starting from these tests, as the sessions continued non-stop and we did not have much opportunity to analyze the data. This is what will happen now in our offices; there will be a way to think about what happened in these tests to use this information in the first race".
