The Renault RS20 starts for the first time
The French manufacturer shared a video of the first ignition of its engine on social media.
It’s an almost mandatory step for all Formula 1 teams. As if to showcase the end of hard work throughout the winter, the teams’ communication departments post a video on social media in which we hear the first engine start-up.
Mercedes was the first to release the sound of its 2020 engine, followed by McLaren and Ferrari.
It’s Renault’s turn to share the fruit of their labor. The turbo hybrid power unit assembled in Viry Chatillon, France, came together with the RS20 chassis in Enstone today.
