There was, of course, a time when people would ask "Adrian who?" :wink:
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Too early in my opinión but in 2018 Renault could have a pretty fine car but behind RB and Mercedes, at least.

As a RBR supporter, unfortunately, this is not the only Senior engineer lured away from RBR. I know at least one former RBR-"Head of" started his work in February at Renault.

Renault has just announced a sponsorship deal with MAPFRE, the spanish insurance company. I'm sure they would love to see Sainz Jr in a yellow car in 2018 :wink:

Will they have a proper reveal of the car like last year or will they go the Sauber & Williams style? Anyone knows if there is any link for the launch of the new car?
