Renault F1 Managing Director, Flavio Briatore is quite confident on the performance of his team. After winning in Monaco and challenging for the win at France last week the Italian believes the team he manages could win at least two more races this season. Talking to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica Briatore showed confident of more wins:

From now to the end I count on winning two, better if three, races. In Hungary and Brazil we can do it" Said the Italian. Third was probably in Japan where Renault last year showed race winning pace before Alonso had to retire due to an engine failure.

Flavio, however, is not pleased with Trulli having lost two podium positions in two races:

"It's a shame we have thrown away two podiums in the last two races." He said. "We could have had one of our drivers between the two Ferrari guys. Trulli made a mistake last Sunday, but I didn't tell him off: he's big enough to realize the error he's made. A podium can't be lost that way, at the last turn. He already made an error like that in Indy, when he let Sato pass him. For us, to end up on the podium in the United States and to have two drivers on the one in our home race, in France, would have been a real coup."

Briatore also said that he prefers to race at London than at Silverstone:

"I do not like Silverstone. It is much better a Grand Prix at London. It would be a beautiful show." He added
