Renault, Vasseur: “Mercedes will win again in 2016”
The sporting director of the Renault team sees another year of domination by the silver arrows
Renault has long-term successful plans, aware that the 2016 world championship will be the classic year of preparation, before (wanting) to see the first important results in 2017.
The French company, after taking over Lotus, is sure it will be able to improve its performance already in 2016, but the sporting director Frederic Vasseur is quite lapidary on the subject of victory"Of the 22 teams on the track only one is certain to win: Mercedes. And maybe Ferrari on some occasions. But the 2016 championship will be another domination of the silver arrows."
However, Vasseur does not want to talk about a transition year: "2016 is a year of preparation, not transition – explained the new sporting director – We don't want to take decades to win, but we need to refine all those automatisms and developments that will allow us to be a top team. It takes time to learn to win, and we often forget too quickly who won, look for example at Red Bull who have always made great cars with our engine."
