Renault have displayed significant improvement over the course of the 2020 season. The team has a driver lineup of a young Esteban Ocon and the experienced Daniel Ricciardo.

Esteban Ocon enjoyed his best result, P5, at the Belgium Grand Prix. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo had 6 Top-5 finishes for Renault. In the last 3 races, the latter has managed to take the French team to the podium rather consistently.
