At the start of 2016, returning Renault set itself a target of winning within three years and challenging for the Formula 1 title within five. Unless it sorts itself out, that is simply not going to happen

I wish I could use the phrase recently offered up to me by one insider to describe the present behind-the-scenes farrago at Renault.

Unfortunately it is highly derogatory in nature, but it leaves you in no doubt what this particular person thinks is going wrong with Renault's return to Formula 1 this season.
