With the America’s Cup scheduled for June 2017 we catch up with Grant Dalton, who talks about what is going on in the team now and more importantly the resilience the team has developed after two successive losses. He talks about the significance of the team in one of the hardest periods of the team’s history, and about the team spirit dating back to before his time in the Kirsty Morris-Rickard team. Their determination and focus remain fixed on the finite goal of winning. Editor Grant also talks of the support of their sponsors and suppliers who believe in them. We’ll hear more from the team in coming issues of Believe as we prepare as a nation to support the 35th America’s Cup.

  • 2020 Formula 1 Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix
    2020 Formula 1 Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix, Sunday Renault DP World F1 Team scored six points from the Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix with Esteban Ocon eighth and Daniel Ricciardo ninth at the first race in Portugal for 24 years. The double points finish means the team moves onto 120 points to remain fifth in the Constructors’ Championship and six points from third place. An action-packed race start saw Daniel move up to eighth after an early battle with the Red Bull of Alexander Albon, whilst Esteban was caught in a melee for the final points scoring position. As predicted, light rain was ever present during the race, but it was never heavy enough to alter proceedings. With grip levels consistently low, Daniel was the first to box with his Soft tyres wearing down rapidly forcing him to pit on lap 14 for fresh Mediums. With Daniel dropping towards the rear of the field having pitted early, Esteban - on the alternate strategy - completed 53 laps on his Medium tyres and was the last to make a first stop. By the time of his stop, Daniel, had scythed his way through the field with others stopping and was safely inside the top ten and in a battle for eighth with Sebastian Vettel. A slightly slow stop for Esteban meant he re-joined just ahead of his teammate, and despite having strong pace on the Softs for the final fifteen laps he was unable to make any major inroads on the cars ahead. Esteban crossed the finish line in eighth position, with Daniel just behind in ninth making it a double-points finish for the team.

In addition, the model level information for vehicle production outside the UK is excluded from the current versions, although this data is available from Ian Henry of AutoAnalysis. Our focus is increasingly on developments in the UK, to make the report more relevant for UK suppliers; many of these companies should see major new business opportunities with increased sourcing at the tier 1 level in the UK especially, as well potential business too for smaller suppliers at the tier 2 and 3 level.
