But then saying that there is also talk of them sticking with bottas.

It just doesn't seem that Audi are taking this seriously enough putting has beens in the driving seats, I can see the appeal of them being consistent and experienced, but they've got that in hulkenberg, Danny ric is on a downward spiral, and bottas hasn't exactly been on fire compared to Zhou this season.

Pourchaire would be a good option, they can always put him on a performance clause and ditch him during the season if need be.

It is quite sad really as Renault is up there with Macca and Ferrari for the all time greats. Especially when it comes to engines. Renault have had engines in F1 for 47 years. Will be a shame to see that gone. They pioneered turbo's and their V10's and V8's were some of the best.

I've supported them since basically for ever. I've pretty much given up now.
The team is soulless, dull and just a horrible corporate machine.
They've done nothing but sack, employ, move around and restructure and it's gotten them nowhere.
They lost piastri (thank goodness for his sake) and handled that situation with that cold corporate bitterness that's showing through more and more.

Basically done with them now. It's not their performance. It's just them.
I've supported Since I've been watching F1 since before 2000s. And remember those years winning with alonso as my favourite ever period watching f1.

Feels weird. But at same time feels right.
If I was ranking the teams as a new fan in order of who I'll support... Renault would be bottom of the pile.

McLaren have signed Brando Badoer to their young driver programme with him lining up for Prema in F3 next season.
Yes he is son of Luca Badoer; so if the similar Crap Dad; Incredible Son (Jos/Max) form continues we should see Brando as a future multiple F1 World Champion...

I've never really had a favourite, but have always had a soft spot for (currently) Alpine. In the late 70s, early 80s, when they were Toleman, my dad owned the pub which was their local. One of my earliest memories is Rory Byrne passed out at the bar with serviettes tied into his hair. My dad always got an invite to the car unveiling even after many of them left with Schumacher to Ferrari. I walked past the factory on my way to school until they moved to Enstone.

Shame they've got into such a mess now.
