Cyril Abiteboul says Renault needs to reassure McLaren about the quality of the engines being supplied to customer and rival McLaren. At the Nurburgring, the Renault unit powering McLaren’s Lando Norris failed. In the highly lucrative and competitive constructors’ world championship, McLaren leads the works Renault team for fourth place by just two points. Renault team boss Cyril Abiteboul vowed to investigate Norris’ problem in order to reassure McLaren. “He (Norris) uses one of our engines and we have to solve the problem quickly,” he said. Abiteboul said Fernando Alonso, following events closely from home, is excited by the competitiveness of Renault’s 2020 package. “He reported to us before, during and after the race,” Abiteboul said.
