Olivier Panis, born in Oullins Lyon, 2 September, 1966, is a French Racing driver. Sadly for Bernard, Panis would largely outpace him, and the team's Renault V10 engine was counterweighted by the team using a "B"-spec version of the 1993 JS39 chassis - by this time a very unusual practice in Formula One which greatly harmed competitiveness. 1970s and 1980s 1977 Renault first involvement in Formula One was made by the Renault Sport subsidiary Bernard would take third place in the high-attrition German Grand Prix, but by the European Grand Prix he was dropped in order to accommodate Johnny Herbert.
