Bob Bell, technical chief at Renault has said that Enstone is a brand new place since the team re-entered the sport.
After two years of struggle, Lotus confirmed that Renault would take over the team at the end of last season. According to Bell, everything has been refreshed and the team and their facilities feel as good as new.
"Since Renault returned we have had increased investment flowing into the team," he said. "Some tired facilities have, or will be, refreshed, the sites are being developed and we are building up the headcount."
Although Renault have only scored six points this season, Bell believes that the team is heading in the right direction towards success.
"This is all part of a long-term plan as some areas, particularly recruitment, take time to come on stream."
Bell also stated that the team are at an advantage as they are designing the chassis and the power unit.
"There is the very obvious point that we are a works' team and can shape the destiny of our engine and chassis," he explained. "This is only shared by Mercedes and Ferrari, so it's a real advantage."
"We can fully integrate the two different areas and make the sum of the whole more than the sum of its parts. It is an important facet of our performance and we need to be able to exploit it better than others."
