Carlos Ghosn: “Renault is here to win. »

This Wednesday, Renault presented the organization of its F1 team, back on the grid in 2016, and confirmed his drivers namely Jolyon Palmer, accompanied by Kevin Magnussen as holder, andEsteban Ocon, now a reserve pilot for the Losange formation.

A team that has serious ambitions, as recalled by Carlos Ghosn, president of the alliance Renault-Nissan, even if the strong man of the automobile group recognizes the importance of the challenge.

“It might take time, but we will close the gap, says Ghosn. We are not here to compete, but to run and win. This should not happen in 2016. Let's not think of a miracle. »

Words that echo those of Cyril Abiteboul, general manager of Renault Sport Racing (new name of the competition division). " For the F1, we will have to be realistic for 2016. In several areas, we need to catch up. It's no secret that we missed the early days of the new Power Unit regulations.

It’s a year to rebuild and revitalize relationships between enstone and Viry and create synergies in the Renault Sport Racing group. We are not going to abandon this season, but we are going to put everything in place for 2017.”

Renault Sport F1 Team also presented a temporary livery of its R.S 16, which is set to evolve before the first Grand Prix of the season in Melbourne, Australia on March 20.
