Renault bids fond farewell to its F1 V8

Renault bids fond farewell to its F1 V8

Lots of things change over time in Formula One, but its eras have largely been defined by their engine formula. The turbo era gave way to the V12, then the V10 and on to the V8 that ran its final laps at last weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix. But as it officially hands over the driveshaft to the new 1.6-liter turbo V6 that will replace it next season, Renault wants to say goodbye to the 2.4-liter V8 that has formed the backbone of the series for as many years as it has pistons. Why Renault, you ask? Because the French manufacturer has accounted for the lion's share of the wins over the course of the past eight years.
