Renault has admitted it might be interested in signing up a Spanish driver in the future.
Renault were publicly interested in Carlos Sainz for the 2017 season but a deal was blocked by Red Bull who were adamant to keep hold of their junior driver. Asked if the next step is a Spanish driver, Thierry Koskas answered: "Everything is possible."
Koskas is Renault's marketing chief, and he told Marca sports newspaper: "Obviously I would like to have a Spanish driver but also one from China, one from Brazil, one from any major country.
"It is true that Spain is very important to Renault. Last year we were the top brand in private vehicles -- the Renault brand is very strong in Spain.
"So that is one issue but the first criteria for a driver is always to get good results," he added.

Its already in the works as they have just got a big deal with a Spanish sponsor. Next year Palmer is bye bye! Good thing the Kmag got out of there away from the Cyril narcissist.
