With Formula 1 teams having to redesign new aero components for 2019 in order to comply with the new rules that are supposed to make overtaking easier, some think that such changes might actually end up negatively impacting top teams more than the rest of the grid

At least that's how Renault executive director Marcin Budkowski sees it.Talking to Autosport, he said: "I am not going to tell you exactly where we are, but the loss [in downforce] was significant at the beginning, yes"

"It is difficult to say whether it was more significant for us or others, but my personal opinion of this is that the bigger teams, the best teams, will lose more performance

That is because by definition they had a quicker car, so they had a more optimized car

Everything was more in tune and optimized.So they will have made a bigger step back

That's certainly one way to look at it, and Budkowski added that the gap between the top- and mid-tier outfits will be smaller

My feeling is that probably you will have closed the gap a little bit between the top teams and the midfield, because the regulations are more restrictive than they were before

There is less available performance." If the top three teams do take even the smallest of steps back, someone like Renault could immediately pounce and assert itself as a potential podium finisher and, perhaps, race winner

Last year, Renault ended the season as "best of the rest", 29 points clear of 4th place Haas, but behind third place Red Bull by a whooping 297 points

Bridging such a gap during the winter would be nearly impossible, added Budkowski, stating that all his team can do is focus on building the best possible car for 2019 and hope that others won't do as good a job

New Renault Clio RS Will Pretty Much Look Like This - Duration: 2:08.

Last week, Renault unveiled the fifth-gen Clio that, despite using a revamped version of its predecessor's platform, boasts completely new exterior and interior design

As usual, at first the new Clio will launch with a number of petrol and diesel engines

But the one petrolheads are more interested about is the next RS.Since the new Clio adopts more than a few styling cues from the Megane, it's not that difficult to imagine how the upcoming RS will look like

Just fuse the overall design of the all-new Clio with the Megane RS' distinctive features, and… there you have it

And that's exactly what XTomi's interpretation of the French hot hatch looks like, with a sportier body kit on the outside, a Megane RS-like grille and lighting signature, and a set of large wheels with a Y-spoke pattern

KleberSilva, on the other hand, went for a more discreet makeover, with a red paint and less black accents on the outside, and gives us a digital look into the athletic rear end, which carries over the same bumper, diffuser and exhaust tip design of the Megane RS, only on a smaller scale

There have been reports that the next Clio RS might get even closer to its larger sibling by adopting the same engine, albeit with less power

The 1.8-liter turbo-four that powers that compact hot hatch makes as much as 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW) in the Megane RS Trophy, and 20 PS (20 hp / 15 kW) less in the normal version

A de-tuned version is used in the Alpine A110, where it pushes out 252 PS (248 hp / 185 kW)
