But the new rules these season have defo made it more competitive again and nice to see Renault winning Smile

true that!

Button got to 4th place, then pitted and as he was pulling off his engine crapped out. Gutted!

Certainly more competitive! Michael Schumaker went out mid-race and Barrichelo (2nd ferrari) barely managed about 8th place with a dodgy engine.

I luuuuuuvvvvvvv the F1, watched it today as i have for the last 15yrs ........... and iv suppourted Renault since day one Razz

as engine suppliers then and now as a complete 100% Renault team, and any F1 fan out there will know that Renault winning F1 championships is nothing new, they've basically dominated F1 at different intervals since the 70's, most recently the 90's when Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jaques Villenuve and a few other where powered to their World Championships with a Renault engine, then at the end of 1997 Renault pulled out of F1 and took a break as they did not see the point of spending 20million an engine over a year when they knew they where going to win ..... Shocked

so they annouced that they would return to F1 when the competition had caught up, and when they returned they bought out Bennetton, and declared that they now want to win a Championship with 100% Renault car and Renault engine, and not just as an engine supplier, and what has taken Ferrari 50yrs to achieve, Renault have done it in 30yrs ..... Cool

Can you tell im a Renault fan then Laughing

Engine, speed, wheels (2 or 4) does it for me. Anything you can stick petrol in and drive/ride is good. BTCC ranks top tho.
