Hmmmmmm, veel twijfels over de R30 bij de media en vele anderen.
Is het wel de nieuwe R30 of is het de R29 met late season aero package en nieuwe livery?!
Renault beweert dat het echt de R30 is........

Onduidelijkheid over status auto
Het blijft nog even onduidelijk of het ook daadwerkelijk de nieuwe auto is. Hierover lopen de meningen uiteen. Vaststaat dat de voorkant van de R30 wel erg veel weg heeft van de bolide van vorig seizoen.
En dan nog dit (bron tekst + pics; f1fanatic.co.uk)
Renault launched their R30 today and after everyone took a moment to take in their smart new livery a cry went up of “hang on, isn’t that last year’s car?”
They called it the R30 and they spoke of how different it is to the car it replaces – but it certainly isn’t easy to spot the changes. Was this really the R30?
Renault technical director James Allison reckons there’s significant and obvious differences between the R30 and last year’s R29
But look at the studio pictures of the two cars in launch specification and it’s hard to pinpoint where the changes are.
According to Renault, the R30 is 5,050mm long, making it 250mm longer than last year’s car. But looking at this year’s and last year’s Renault side-by-side there seems to be little different in overall length.
Admittedly, re-sizing the images in this way does not give us a perfect illustration of the differences in size. But the longer wheelbases on 2010-specification cars have been noticeable on the three other cars launched already.
Aside from detail changes on the front wing and brake ducts – which were developed during the course of 2009 – there are few apparent significant changes.
Renault have not said that the car presented was an R29 painted to look like the new car. But it’s hard to spot the extra 25cm in length, the added bulk due to the enlarged fuel tank, and the revised aerodynamics.
