LONDON (Reuters) - Former world champions Renault know it will take them years to get back on top in Formula One after returning with their own team this season, according to racing director Frederic Vasseur.

The 46-year-old Frenchman told Reuters that a target, set by Renault chief executive Carlos Ghosn, of being on the podium within three years might seem unambitious but was based on a realistic assessment.
