Kevin Magnussen says he is trying not to compare Renault with McLaren too often as he settles in to his new team.
Last week saw Magnussen drive Renault's new R.S.16 for the first time having previously only driven McLaren machinery in F1. Moving between teams, Magnussen says he is putting his full trust in Renault that its approach is the right one for the team, having rarely given feedback on the way McLaren works during the first test.
“No I try to not compare so much because I trust that these guys know what they’re doing, and it’s very clear that they know what they’re doing," Magnussen said. "Now they have the resources to do it as well, so there’s no reason really. There are a couple of things that I told them how McLaren does it but they do it their way and they believe that it’s the right way and I trust that.”
And Magnussen says it is easier to avoid too many comparisons because there are no vast differences between the way the two teams work within the garage.
“It’s similar. At the end of the day it’s quite similar but there are details and just procedures and stuff that are a little bit different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different.”
