Only spice girls groupies really take him at face value, funny how he has not commented at all on the massive result his propaganda achieved
This is what Renault say about Red Bull
The CEO Cyril Abiteboul admits shortcomings of its advanced V6 but the intransigence and trust measured as Red Bull Racing Renault door.
Cyril Abiteboul, appears somewhat critical of Red Bull Racing, with whom the French engine dominated the Formula 1 2010 and 2013. While acknowledging that the thermal V6 Viry-Chatillon " is not in the ter above suspicion , "the managing director of Renault Sport F1 believes that this finding may also be addressed to the chassis designed by Red Bull this season. " Sure.
Does it have the best frame? "asks the French manager in the columns of the magazine Auto Hebdo, published Wednesday . " It is said very sensitive to adjustments, unbalanced, a delicate operation of tires. Well, it is true that with more power, you can put more downforce and with more downforce, the chassis gaining in stability and keeping tires. This is why we must get out of this reciprocal permanent indictment to better work together and achieve the best performance in turn, more than the best engine power. " "As soon as we want to enter into a closer relationship, it is very complicated" Asked how he felt about the union with Red Bull Racing, Cyril Abiteboul does not really show satisfied. " Let's be clear, this is not good , he considers . We are unable to take our partnership to the level where I would like it to be: in terms of technology, marketing, respect, trust, transparency, positioning ... But I know well and I have a huge respect for what they do and what they built.
The problem is probably in this success and in the method. They operate either in the role of the absolute control of what they produce or in that of absolute customer waiting for the supply of finished product delivered, performance and optimal reliability and, if possible cheap. As soon as the we want to enter into a closer relationship, it's very complicated. " " Some couples may very well live well and others less well. For me it is a real disappointment. It is one of the goals I had set my roadmap back in Viry-Châtillon. Certainly, there are progress, but it is marginal , "he concludes.
And groupie spice himself, admits what will become apparent next year when he has no excuse for whinging about being held back
“I think Mercedes invested more strategically than Renault. It was something we were aware of and something we pushed Renault on, but unfortunately their management changes came too late to make an impact into this year, but hopefully they will make a big influence in the next few seasons.I think the philosophy to embrace Red Bull as the works team and to work as a partner as opposed to a customer was what needed changing, because the power unit needs to be fully integrated.”
aww hard cheese diedre, did you just work out that a drinks company is not in the same league as a real racing car manufacturer? But the bad rap they gave to Renault earlier in the season might not have helped them become a bigger influence in the next few seasons, maybe he needs to watch boiuler at mcLaren for lessons on how to big up your engine maker and make life easier for them....err hold on.......
