F1 News - Renault team could lose Renault power in 2012 - report - July, 2011 |
Jul.11 (GMM) Rumours about the health of the team currently known as Renault refused to disappear at Silverstone. Boss Eric Boullier recently dismissed the rumours, hinting that they were triggered mischievously at Monaco by his predecessor Flavio Briatore.But six weeks later, there was once again similar talk in the paddock of the British grand prix, not long after Williams was announced as engine supplier Renault Sport's newest partner team for 2012 and beyond.Apart from the continuing naming connection, a customer engine contract and their historical links, the French marque is no longer involved with the Lotus-sponsored Renault team.And Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports that the team might even be powered by Cosworth engines next year."This is fiercely denied by those in charge," the magazine acknowledged.However, the Williams situation is perhaps relevant, particularly with the fanfare of the Renault engine announcement involving former works champions Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve at the team's Grove headquarters last week.As for Lotus Renault, "poor results and apparently still pending payments for the engines do not make things any better", Auto Motor und Sport added.F1 News F1 Schedule F1 Line-up Constructors' Championship Drivers' Championship F1 Tickets Live F1 Coverage Full Version: Formula 1 News Formula 1 Schedule Formula 1 Line-up Constructors' Championship Drivers' Championship Live F1 Coverage 10 'n' Pole F1 Regulations The Forums Motorsport Shop F1 Merchandise F1 Tickets F1 Diecast F1 Videos F1 Games Back To Top |
