Renault looking forward to Spain and the "opportunity to reset"

Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul believes that his team needs to "reset" before the start of the European season. The French team has struggled so far and will hope that they can get some solid performances under them before too long. There have been some issues with the car and it doesn't look particularly fast or comfortable to drive. 

“Very clearly, Azerbaijan was a bad weekend,” said team boss Cyril Abiteboul to motorsportweek. “From FP1 onwards we never found our pace despite big changes to the car overnight.

“We finally managed to recover an acceptable competitiveness level during the race for Daniel but it would never be the case for Nico.

“Overall, the first stint of the season has been disappointing, but if we manage to get all things in order we can have a decent competitiveness level as demonstrated on several occasions.

“We must absolutely see the start of the European season as an opportunity to reset.”

Renault will hope that they can get both cars in the points in Spain and get their season back on track.
