Well given that Renault turbos are known for being shit thats not really a surprise

So the RB has only done 11 laps , and Vettel has left to fly home.

 

".. hopes of getting valuable mileage under its belt on Wednesday were then dealt a blow when Vettel was confined to the pits by what is understood to be a Renault energy store issue early in the afternoon. "

Should just stick one of their 1.9 turbo diesels in... they may not lead the race, but at least they should get to the end.

[Zoobeef]
