You know, Renault is really not my cup of tea, but I do expect them to do well this year. One of the most exciting driver line-ups on the grid for sure, in my opinion. Expecting them to be about 4 tenths off Red Bull in Australia. So about 7 tenths off pole.
Depending on Honda, i think they will fall back.

I expect Renault and Williams to surprise many people this year.
This will be best season for Renault after 2006.
I even think Alonso made a huge mistake not accepting this seat in 2019.
They now have everything, budget, new WT, good tech department and 2 top drivers.
I think he was quite interested, but just wouldn't commit to more than 1 year, Renault wanted at least 2. Besides, no matter how good they are this year, fighting for the title is very unlikely, and that's what matters to Fernando at this stage.
I agree, but looking at Fisichela's results im 2005 06 they werent title candidates even then, or Ferrari wasnt either looking at Massa.
Alonso makes a difference, although i agree this year is unlikely for them to be up there, but they will surprise i think they will be 3rd team, RB will be slower.
He definitely would make the difference, like he did in Mclaren, but I think pushing and pushing, even for some wins and ending up 2nd would be hard to take and more frustrating. He's still quick, so if the F1 title is out of reach, re-evalute your ambitions and achieve elsewhere.
Personally, I still think Red Bull will be no worse than they were last year. 3rd place is all but guaranteed, Honda have improved.

If they do well than great, power to them. Im glad the Red Bull partnership is over. It was dragging both brands down. Now there are really no excuses for Renault anymore. Likewise if they succeed, they will be solely responsible for getting the exposure they so desperately want, after the V8 era and all that.

Renault saying the only thing being carried over from the 2018 car is the power steering system. Everything else is a total rethink, I'd love to seem them mix it in with the top three given the driver lineup.

Maybe it's a given because the regs changed and chassis is probably more inspired by Rb14.

Also Renault needs to make gains either way if they want to supply F1 teams in future. Mclaren is now their only customer. They need to get competitive for 2020 and specially 2021 market to add at least 3rd team.
No they don't. 2 teams is all they can handle and Renault is better of with the limited resources they have. A third team will not add anything to Renault and could in fact take resources away that they don't have. This is why I believe that Renault and Red Bull should have went their separate ways at that singapore 2017 meeting. Both parties would have been better off 1 year earlier. Neither Mercedes or Ferrari gain anything from their customer teams.

to be honest, i'm expecting nothing more than the 2018 Renault with a 2019 mock front wing, rear wing and slightly differnet livery.
