Renault have had a fairly topsy-turvy season so far. The team got off to such a fantastic start to the season. Vitaly Petrov took third in Melbourne, and then Nick Heidfeld got a third place at Malaysia. After that, they seem to have gone downhill, with a fifth place being the best finish by either driver. Rumours currently circulating the paddock is Renault are struggling with money. It could explain their decision to replace Nick Heidfeld with Bruno Senna (a pay-driver). But even without money issues, the team and their two experienced drivers have to be disappointed with their 2011 so far. Hopefully, they can start to compete more with Mercedes, and then try for another podium.
