It seems that Brown consequently decided with shareholders to keep Alonso, and severe under duress ties with Honda, which includes hefty amount of cash as well. Makes sense? Not to me, but then I am not running that joint. Battle between reason and passion is one of fundamental struggles in human affairs. (Beschloss or Meacham, not sure right now). How fitting in this case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lipstick79 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2017 Renault is NOT a proven race winner and, by their own admission, the timeline for Renault podiums will kick in after 2019. By then we will be one year away from the new engine formula and who knows what will happen then. Honda WOULD be the BETTER option !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
