Renault Sport Formula One Team's racing director Frédéric Vasseur has backed drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer after a difficult recent run that has seen both drivers write cars off.
Billed as a 'transition year' for the returning works team, Renault has had a difficult start to 2016, recording just one points finish. The tough season has not been made any easier by hard crashes for both drivers in recent races.
"To be honest, even if I told you it is a transition year, we have to stay focused and don’t give up the season. It’s very important to keep everybody under pressure.," said Vasseur. "For sure the last two races were a bit difficult and we had too many issues. But we are on a good improving curve and I’m sure we will be quite soon."
"You don’t have to forget that Jo is a rookie and Kev didn’t run last year and I think so far they did a good job," he added. "For sure we had some crashes over the last weekend but so far they did a good job. I think they are improving in terms of collaboration with the team and we are on a good direction."
