Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
I think they need a time to rebuild the 05/06 team after such a disastrous 2007 season
Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
Renault expects a gain of 0.5 seconds, Honda 0.3, in Barcelona tests next week according to simulations.
Honda expect progress with the introduction of a package designed to improve the top speed of the RA108 (it conceded 13km/h to Ferrari in Sakhir qualifi), as well as the overall effectiveness of the car. In Barcelona, the team from Brackley will introduce a package that includes lenticular rim shields (like Ferrari and McLaren) and new front wing. The latest simulations of Honda (overnight tests in Jerez, organized in a hurry just before the Australian GP) has been confirmed by the track data, Honda is optimistic to be able to match theory and practice

Talking about testing progression in Barcelona next week:
Ron Dennis says BMW can't develop as fast as McLaren and Ferrari, so he says that McLaren and Ferrari will dominate again, like 2007...

Well he has certainly been doing a great job so far, hasn't he? osweat:donald29 wrote:he is probably right, i want to see renault doing better though, i want to see alonso fighting the mclarens :P
The Macca boys seem to be intimidated by him when he's around: first Heikki hits the pit limiter in Australia, then Lewis goes all kamikaze on him, hmmm, I wonder what's that all about
Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
I believe that Alonso will fight back this year with Renault..
Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
Poor alonso.. give him the right machine. Everyone want to see him fight to be the front runner.^cool^
Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
Alonso had the right machine last year, he was a front runner and did nothing with it. This year, he needs to return to the basics of F1, so the next time when he gets the right machine he would know that the opportunity has arrive and it maybe won't come back again, so he will use it right.syafiqa wrote:Poor alonso.. give him the right machine.

Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
Yes I know..but that not the right 'home' for him. So everything goes wrong with him.

4 victories 109 Points ...Internal rivalry/equality policy was too much s*** & that is sole reason why mclaren fail to win WDC!Soyyo wrote: Alonso had the right machine last year, he was a front runner and did nothing with it.

Btw if Ferrari Drivers had to comment it would be "We are eight best team" osweat:

Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
maybe..we would have been more comfortable going back to the team where he won 2 WC. He also had a good rapport with Flavio untill the backdoor arrangements with Mclaren..
Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
he says it on purpose, to show the F1 world that although his car puts him in 16th position, he's good enough to finish in the top 10 or close to it, therefore getting more merit.phil1993 wrote:if renault are the 8th best team, then he must be the 16th best driver!!!!!. think carefully nando!!!!
Re: Alonso says Renault are the eighth best team in F1
yeah, absolutely. also i agree with the emphasis on 'RENAULT are the 8th best team', not 'WE are the eighth best team'
