Renault has taken the wraps off its new car, the R.S. 18. The machine is the third of Renault's since it returned as a full-time manufacturer in 2016. It has been building upwards since then, and will be hoping that its latest design will bring boosted results.
The car has slightly modified its yellow and black livery from 2017. Renault has also elected to paint the halo black. Its nose design is also similar to its 2017 car.
The R.S. 18 will be piloted by Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz. Hulkenberg joined the French squad last year and scored its points throughout the first half of the season. Following the Japanese Grand Prix, Renault replaced Jolyon Palmer with Carlos Sainz, who will continue for the 2018 season.
Jack Aitken also confirmed that he has been promoted to the role of reserve driver for the Enstone team. Artem Markelov has also been confirmed to now hold a test and development role. Both racers will drive in the FIA Formula 2 championship this year.
