Renault launch 2006 car

January 31st, 2006

Renault have launched the R26 which will defend their titles.
The Renault site has the details, but I can’t access the photos as the site won’t allow me to register. So for pictures go to F1Racing.net.

Carlos Ghosn, the boss of Renault, had this to say when asked about Renault’s future in F1:

As long as we continue to perform well, we offer a good show, and obviously we are at the top level of Formula One, then there are not questions about the future in Formula One.

Obviously, there is some uncertainty about the conditions in which Formula One will evolve beginning in 2008. This is not a preoccupation of Renault alone, it is a preoccupation for all manufacturers trying to figure out what will be the environment of Formula 1.

But if I eliminate this uncertainty, if I consider that we are going to come to a good resolution of the questions we have, and that Formula One will continue to have a good, fair return on investments for car manufacturers in general and for the winner in particular, then we must be there.

In the meantime, I am counting on the Renault F1 Team, on the team we have in Enstone and the people in Viry-Châtillon to really perform well, to offer us a good show and hopefully bring back the trophy again in 2006.

Discuss it on Linksheaven forums.
