Renault To Be Slower Off The Grid In 05?

[Monty 0]

One 'clarified' FIA electronic rule may cost Renault at the start of a GP. Until '04, the blue and yellow car boasted easily the quickest system for launching off the grid.

But asked if Renault will maintain the advantage, director of engineering said: ''I think we will -- although (the advantage) may not be like last year. I think we can do it as good as anyone else.''

Rival technical director Ross Brawn thought the Renault leapt off the line because of 'compromise' weight and suspension set-up.

Symonds is smilingly 'stunned' that a team as good as Ferrari can't figure out the Renault secret. He said: ''That's very unusual in F1.''

I liked the way the Renaults used to shoot out the grid like a bullet and leave the rest behind. If they compromise on that, can we expect Renaults power to go up. I remember reading some time back Brawn saying that Renault' quick launch is compromising on their power.

The last 2 days the Renaults have been stronger most other teams.

i remember reading that renault had a sling shot in the back of the seat.

that'll do the trick!

some one even suggested that Renault had their LAUNCH sytem hooked up to the start light computer by radio waves

Yah Gotta LUV F1 gossip

I think it was partly due to a rearward weight distribution, good aerodynamics and mechanical grip.

I read that it was an electronic starting system made in japan by nissan...

I hope they continue with that strong point

i heard it was to do with the rear weight distribution!

As did I, amongst other things, see the above post but on this information you have to ask why they
