Kevin Magnussen (DEN) Renault Sport F1 Team RS16 leaves the pits. Japanese Grand Prix, Saturday 8th October 2016. Suzuka, Japan.

The Enstone’s team has been the fourth team to announce the launch of their car after Mercedes, Ferrari and Force India announced.

Despite this, Hulkenberg and Palmer’s team will be the first team to present their new car. Force India will launch it one day later, while Mercedes will launch it two days after Renault’s launch and Ferrari will launch it three days after Renault’s launch.

Their next car will be the first to be designed by them, as the 2016 car was designed during the “extinct Lotus era”. In addition, Bob Bell has stated in an interview that they want to position themselves as the fifth best team of the grid to aspire to higher levels in 2018.

He added:

“If we do, then we should try to get on the podium in 2018. If we do, then we will have chances to fight for the Championship, maybe not in 2019, but in 2020”.
