Formula 1 engine manufacturer Renault insists that the problems that have plagued its teams are fixable by the next test at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The French car manufacturer has endured a difficult time at Jerez in Spain this week, with its three teams – Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Caterham – struggling with reliability. Most in the spotlight has been Red Bull, with the reigning champion squad completing just 14 laps over the course of the first three days.
But as work continues at Renault’s base in France to implement solutions, the company’s F1 engine chief Rob White has made it clear that its problems are curable by Bahrain.
White said: “We had objectives for the first test that won’t have been fully realized and therefore the step up we need for Bahrain is absolutely bigger. But we are determined and committed to get there and we will work with the teams to fix the problem.”
