The new season has started with the best possible way for Renault.Podium finishes,victories,pole positions and there are a lot more to come!

Giancarlo Fisichella won the opening GP in Melbourne,starting from pole, and Fernando Alonso was third.Pole and victory came for Renault in the two next races, Malaysia & Bahrain, only this time from Fernando Alonso. Fisichella did not finish in both races.
Fernando completed a hatrick in Imola,after a thrilling battle with the reigning champion Michael Schumacher in the closing stages. Giancarlo did not finish
Next up was Alonso's home GP, Barcelona.Fernando was 2nd behind Kimi Raikkonen, and Giancarlo was fifth picking up another four points.
Renault picked up another 5 points in Monaco,after Fernando's first finish outside of the top 3 this season.
The team though came back to their winning streak at the European GP, Nurburgring.Fernando took his victory toll for this season to four,after qualifying 6th.Raikkonen was leading until the last lap,but did not finish due to suspension failure.
This season is turning out to be excellent for Renault.7 podium finishes, 5/7 victories and lead in both the Drivers and Constructors Championship.
This season though is the longest too,and there are 12 more races to go.Next up is Montreal, and Renault is aiming to make their victories 6 out of 8.
