Hi everyone,
Welcome to another F1 newsletter, catching up with the news from the last few weeks, and a recap of some recent articles on the BellaOnline site.
In the news:
Rumour has it that Renault aren't happy with the look of the rear diffuser on the new cars from Williams and Toyota. They've asked for clarification from the FIA who are apparently aware of the issue.
Ron Dennis has admitted he will probably turn up to all the race weekends this year, if he can possibly help it. We already thought this would be the case, but he admits it is just because he's simply an F1 fan.
Red Bull have confirmed they will run Renault's KERS device. This makes sense as they have the Renault engine installed and the two will have to run closely side by side.
