Renault advise against "radical change in engine rules" in 2021

Even though time is running out on deciding rules for the 2021 rule changes, Renault team principal Cyril Abiteboul hopes that the changes won't be as "radical" as they are now.

Renault have proved to be the 'best of the rest' team this season behind the big three teams of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. Haas F1 are Renault's main competitors now, but the American team still lack the consistency to challenge the French team week in, week out.

When it comes to engines, Renault have just lost their biggest client in Red Bull. The Austrian team will be partnering up with Honda from next season on, ending a twelve-year relationship with the French. That is one reason why Renault now think that it's not necessary to change an awful lot in the new engine rules.

"The time keeps ticking," Abiteboul told Motorsport-total.

"We're behind on schedule," the Frenchman concluded.
