After months of speculation regarding Renault, and weeks of uncertainty over its driver line-up, the questions were answered in Paris today. Frederic Vasseur becomes the new racing director, Kevin Magnussen replaces Pastor Maldonado and Esteban Ocon becomes third driver. And the livery? Well, that was a bit of a cop out - a predominantly black testing livery was unveiled, which will be replaced by the start of the season.
