Will Renault beat Red Bull in 2018?
Having signed Carlos Sainz Jr and made strides on track, is Renault on course for a big leap forward in 2018? Gary Anderson gives his view on this, and other topics including the hardest-working drivers he met in F1
With Renault signing Carlos Sainz Jr and becoming stronger in recent races, do you think it's possible that it could be ahead of Red Bull and McLaren next year? After all, that team has regularly won races over the years as Benetton/Renault/ Lotus, so it must be a good operation, and Red Bull and McLaren haven't exactly been overachieving recently.

The driver combination of Nico Hulkenberg and Sainz is as strong a team line-up as there is in the pitlane.
