Williams FW34 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

So, do you?
I know the question is for manchild but my 2bits is that this car won't be fighting for podiums no. But I do believe, and I do hope, that it will be a step in the right direction. [-o<

Then again I thought that about the FW33.

Maybe the Renault engines will help?

:lol:
For Sure!!

Last years car was fundamentally a good one, bar the cosworth motor, as you say, it's just down to the much tighter packaging from that Renault motor letting their gearbox and rear end solution work as intended. Nice to see it paying off and what they can bring now in terms of updates.

It looks as if several parts will need to be changed on Bruno Senna's car now, probably gearbox, or even engine, due to fire damage, as they were exposed during the fire.

Will they get a penalty if this is the case?
IMO the FIA should allow the change, because of the circumstances.

I think there was much more damage from the Schumacher shunt than the fire. Thar car looked fine, just a little dusty.

Yes, but Schumacher's car is damaged, because he crashed it, whereas Senna's car is damaged from fire as well as crash damage. I think it would be unfair to give them a penalty, if the gearbox is fire damaged.

AFAIK, you can change your gearbox if you have a DNF. And you can change your engine, because you have 8 engines for the whole season
