MCLAREN IS MAKING MORE THAN THE WORKS TEAM RENAULT F1 TEAM

Ricciardo’s impending exit from Renault was made to look somewhat acrimonious by a pretty unsubtle statement from Renault’s managing director Cyril Abiteboul in the immediate aftermath, as he appeared to question the Aussie’s “reciprocated confidence, unity and commitment”.

And somewhat perversely, a good result for Ricciardo in Austria would’ve strengthened that statement, showing that he may have been wrong to give up on Renault so soon and spurn it for a midfield rival.

Instead, Ricciardo lost a chance at a decent result due to a reliability drama – which even Renault itself must admit is nothing new on its end – while McLaren bagged an almighty haul of points and a podium.

Yes, that podium was made possible by Renault’s engine, but on evidence of Austria it’s still pretty clear McLaren is making more than the works team of whatever Viry is delivering.
