Esto me lo mando un amigo:
Me parece que viene de Atlas.

"The Renault R23 showed again its aerodynamic qualities as well as its good traction. But you could also see that the lack of engine-power is a handicap. Alonso lost 0.4 seconds in the first sector, which includes the second part of the long straight. He was slightly faster in sector 2 and 3 than the Ferrari-drivers, and he took the final corner faster than anyone. It was partly due to the tyre choice. For the first time Michelin offered two different tyre constructions, both in prime and option compound. Whereas Toyota went for the old construction in hard and soft, Williams and McLaren took the prime tyre in the new construction and the option with the old casing. Renault were the only team to opt for two soft tyres, one in the old, the other in the new construction. For qualifying and race they took the soft in new construction, and that was their trump card. It offered better traction. But why did Williams and McLaren not take it? “Because we had not tested it enough and did not want to take the risk.”

In Austria Renault will have an engine update with 20 more horsepower. This engine was tested two weeks ago in Silverstone. Two days after the Spanish Grand Prix, Renault and their chief engineer Jean-Jacques His parted company. That was a clear sign that next year’s engine will be a 90 degree-V10. He was one of the supporters of the 110 degree concept. There are strong rumours that Mario Illien will be the successor of His. Flavio Briatore has been in discussion with the Mercedes chief engineer since they had dinner together in Malaysia. Illien is not very happy about internal politics, mainly initiated by Ron Dennis. The British press blame the engine for not being powerful enough. On top of this, they claim that the engine is the reason for the delay of the new McLaren, while it is actually the car. Illien gets the feeling that the British media are fed this misinformation by Ron Dennis. "
