Bell confident for Silverstone

With two drivers out of the points in Türkiye, the team Renault has mobilized 100 percent to make improvements to the R29 before the British Grand Prix. Bob Bell, the technical director, is also aware of the expectations of his drivers and affirms that new developments will be introduced for the race. “ We have a development regarding the diffuser which represents a fairly significant step forward as well as improvements to the front wing “, he said. " We have studied some developments regarding the front wing in Turkey and we will bring it again to Silverstone with some modifications which we believe should improve the performance of the car. »

Sixth last year at Silverstone, Fernando Alonso had to wait for the Singapore Grand Prix to have a car to achieve a victory. This season, he hopes that this deadline will be shortened. Bob Bell also wants to play leading roles. “ This year, the gap with the leaders has narrowed even more quickly, which leads us to believe that we will be able to fight for podiums before the end of the season. ", did he declare.

Finally, he thinks that the characteristics of the English route should allow the R29 to show a better face than in Turkey. “ The nature of the circuit should suit the R29 as it will perform well in fast corners “, he confided. “ It is certain that we can still improve our braking performance but Silverstone is not particularly demanding on the brakes. We are therefore confident that we can produce a better result at Silverstone than in Turkey. He concluded.
