Renault will adopt its own F-Duct

Renault found that the effects of F-Duct are ultimately beneficial. The proof is provided in Shanghai, where McLaren seems to benefit from the contribution of its system, which allows it to gain a few km/h in the two long straight lines of the Chinese track. As a result, like Sauber and Ferrari, Renault will implement this system on its car. If Eric Boullier does not advance any date, the team?enstone will do it as quickly as possible.

A few weeks ago, Eric Boullier nevertheless affirmed that Renault's efforts were focused on other areas. “ This would make us modify the general aerodynamics of the car, with the design of a new monocoque, which represents a huge investment., confided to us Eric Boullier, Renault team principal F1 Team, on the sidelines of the Australian Grand Prix. We would do it if McLaren was far ahead and the effectiveness of this system was proven. For the moment, this is not the case. »

McLaren seeming to benefit from the benefits of this system, Renault is therefore working on it from now on, so as not to lose in this sector the benefit of the tenths gleaned in other areas. “ We are actively working on the development of our own F-Duct, Eric Boullier tells us. Two people work there full time for us. It is impossible to give an implementation date today. But we will do it as quickly as possible, that's for sure. »
