Fabrice Lom, Renault's engine coordinator at Red Bull Racing responds to our questions...

What was your verdict on the Spanish Grand Prix?
It was a really positive weekend with a car which remains competitive despite the developments introduced by our competition, which allowed us to score another 11 points. But missing out on the victory and seeing the Brawns once again score maximum points was a bit frustrating.

We now move onto the next race in Monaco. What are your expectations for the team at this special race?
The team should have an important aerodynamic update, which should help us on this unusual circuit. We are aiming for the best result possible there, but we're well aware that racing in Monaco can sometimes be a lottery.

What is the most important engine parameter for Monaco?
There are many things to consider. We often hear that Monaco is an ‘easy' circuit for the engines, but that's not completely true. In fact, due to the bumpy surface, you have to be careful not to over-rev the engine. A driveable engine is also important so that the engine delivers the power in a predictable way that allows the driver to stay online and avoid the walls which are all too close in Monaco.
