I was surprised that Renault was being considered again as all the talk last July and August was a PSA merger as supposedly it made more sense. Hopefully once the mkts close we should hear more. PSA has Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, and Vauxhall brands, none that would have much N.Am. sales potential but would open up Europe more to Dodge trucks and Jeep.
An FCA/Renault-Nissan merger would be more interesting from an F1 perspective and the reaction of Merc, RB. I could see Williams giving up and becoming a jr team to Merc by 2020 if the merger were to occur.
Fun stuff to think about given the boredom of this current F1 season. It is telling that the busiest online forum (other than magazine) that I see these days is on a music forum. Even the Corvette forum F1 discussions have nearly dried up. Hopefully the rules changes will bring back a lot of the missing race excitement with no one team domination whether that be RB, Merc, Ferrari.
