Renault target 'continued progression' with new F1 car

Renault will look to build on last year's sixth-place finish in the Formula One constructors' championship after launching their new car, the R.S.18, on Tuesday (Feb 20) ahead of the 2018 season.

The French manufacturer is preparing for its third campaign following its return to the sport full-time in 2016, and will again count on Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz Jr to drive the team forward.

"The car is a progression and refinement of the concepts developed during the 2017 season. It includes an improved suspension concept and greater aerodynamic downforce," Renault said in a statement.

The latest model, which retains its black and yellow colour scheme, includes the mandatory cockpit halo brought in this season to protect the drivers.
