French car manufacturer Renault has confirmed that it will end its works engine effort in F1
Renault has confirmed that it is to pull the plug on its Formula 1 engine operations ahead of the new rules era in 2026. Following months of speculation about the future of the French manufacturer, with Alpine having long been in talks with Mercedes for a customer power unit deal, the fate of its operations was finally announced on Monday.
Philippe Krief, Alpine CEO, said: “Creating this Hypertech Alpine centre is key to Alpine's development strategy and, more broadly, to the Group's innovation strategy. “It is a turning point in the history of the Viry-Châtillon site, which will ensure the continuity of a savoir-faire and the inclusion of its rare skills in the Group's ambitious future while strengthening Alpine's position as an 'innovation garage'. “Its racing DNA remains a cornerstone of the brand.
