SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (Aug. 28, 2016) - The Renault Sport Formula One Team unfortunately could not capitalize on its best-ever qualifying performance in today's Belgian Grand Prix. Kevin Magnussen had lined up twelfth, just in front of Jolyon Palmer for the 44-lap race. After a strong start, Jolyon was running seventh and Kevin eighth, but a heavy crash for Kevin on lap five led to his premature retirement from the race. Jolyon held station after the resultant red flag, but suffered tire degradation during the race and finished in fifteenth overall.
