It's sad to see world class drivers like Danny Ric have to create deals with anything less than a world championship team, but I 'sort of' see his reasons for moving to Renault. Let's hope that Renault do grow in strength and witness Danny & Hulk push each other hard, before any team orders are put into gear!!

I think youre forgetting that RBR have Hondas next year. All could very easily go south for RBR and Renault will at the very least make a step up with regards to talent. DR could have made a good move.
I know Scott .. I worded that a little oddly, based on the obvious engine changes to come. What I meant, was the basic principle of Danny making negotiations with "current" mid pack teams, other than the top 3, which with his talent and stage in his career, well, I know, the same could be said about Alonso and Hulk to some degree, but I hope you see my angle?
In some ways, I hope RBR turn to crap and Renault steadily work their way to become a top team or in touching distance in the next couple of years!! ... I think it would be an excellent pairing, should Renault impress and Danny and Hulk push each other hard as team mates, in my opinion, that would be great for F1 - especially if they reach a level, where they can snap up points away from the "big boys".
So, by 2021, I would love to see Renault and Williams (with better, more exciting drivers) reach podiums on a fairly regular basis - while Merc and Ferrari continue to challenge each other.
