Renault is back to Formula 1

      Through the years Renault was one of the strongest team in Formula 1, having the greatest drivers, champions such as Alain Prost and Fernando Alonso who won for them the championship twice, yeah in 2005 and 2006 Renault was the strongest, but then in 2007 Fernando left them for McLaren where he could not find himself, and after one year decided to came back, but the things got worse I mean the team was not strong enough to win championship again, however drivers were on podium several times since issues get started.

      In 2009 there was a scandal during the Singapore Grand Prix 2008 where Nelson Piquet Jr.( Alonso's teammate) had a crash causing Fernando’s win. Nelson had characterized the incident as a mistake, but after he left the team in August 2009, allegations surfaced that his crash had been deliberate, to give an advantage to Alonso, in the same year 2009 Briatore and Symonds had left the team. In 2010, Renault sold most stake in the team to Genii Capital (investment company).

      Now it is been six years since Renault decided to leave Formula One, now they are back, and it must be serious for them, because they bought team with financial problem….did you now that in 2015 during Belgian Grand Prix Lotus were racing in the presence of debt collectors??:(, it is crazy since I have never though that Formula One team could have a serious financial problems enough to have a debt collectors who for some days keeping equipment on racing circuit until Lotus pay money back, sometimes when you are watching Formula One races you do not realize that these things can happened behind the scenes.

      Most teams who start their adventure or are longer in F1 are very optimistic, they usually say that they can fight for wins and finally for title, but Renault is more realistic they know that it is going to be difficult season, because of many reasons for example the car is not competitive enough and it is going to be difficult in qualifications to score a good position, OK this car was a fast construction( built in such a short time), but we cannot forget about the drivers that Lotus has. Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer are very talented, determined and I think that they are able to fight for best also I am really happy to see Renault again.
