An analysis of Renault's prospects
Will a return to the classic yellow and black livery also mean a return to past success for Renault? Tony Dodgins hopes so
Got to admit that seeing the new Renault in that gorgeous original black and yellow livery struck a chord. I was never too keen on the hotch-potch orange scheme in deference to ING even if did only take some internet genius a matter of seconds to create a new logo, 'cheatING' as soon as the Singapore rumpus broke cover.
The new car reminded me of heading, excited, to Silverstone in 1977, where, at my first Grand Prix there, I saw some rather significant debuts - a certain Gilles Villeneuve and the Renault RS01 on its Michelin tyres.
