That could make sense. If both Renault cars scored on a regular basis (actually if Palmer scored anywhere near the leauge of Hulk's tally), the team would be a clear 5th ahead of Williams right now. The gap is somewhere up and around 20mil between P5 and P8 in the constuctor's championship (in the ballpark of 90 vs 70 mil is what we are talking, i believe).
It's all just speculation, but I dont see buying a guy like Sainz outz 1.5 year early would carry a price tag too near to 20mil, do you? So with this move, Sainz could actually earn the money back to the team and then some.
It would also make sense for STR, that was -i always thought- a platform for young up and coming guys, and not a retirement home. They could finally put Gasly in, use Kvyatt as a benchmark for a while, until the next hotshoe is ready.
