What they say

Norris, who tested the team’s MCL32 last year, was asked when he expects to drive their current car:

I haven’t been told the exact first day I’ll be in the car this season. I think one of the young driver tests I’ll be in. I’ve been preparing for that to make the most use of it I can. It’ll be an opportunity for, if anything happens to Fernando [Alonso] or Stoffel [Vandoorne], I’ll have a bit more of an understanding about the car, be a bit more confident in jumping in and doing a good job. It’s another day for me to improve and get to learn about Formula One. So hopefully one of the young driver tests or a Pirelli test I’ll get a bit more experience.

Looking at the #919Tribute stuff leaves me really, really hoping @RENAULTedams bow out of Formula E/send off Gen 1 by taking one of their championship-winning cars, removing all the restrictions, whacking a tonne of aero on it and beasting it round an F1 track for a few laps.
