All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Renault F1 engines historic overview (from 1989)

Post

Interesting video from 1989, contains rare clips of Renault F1 engines including clips from testing of first Renault F1 car before they entered F1 as well as V10 from 1989 (I've never seen it before). Sadly, I don't speak French :(

You didn't miss anything really :). No performance figures, no dirty secrets, nothing.
It's like when teams present their new car: blabla worked on performance blabla improved a few things blabla we're confident etc..., essentially saying nothing.

Think ever since Renault came to formula one in the late 70's, it has been the most innovative engine manufacturer. Unfortunately the spirit of the rules are against this nowdays.
