With immediate affect Cyril Abiteboul has left Renault, he was a long time Renault employee, he had been in sole charge of the French team since 2017 but is now leaving the company all together.
Cyril has departed completely, whilst Laurent Rossi has now been confirmed as the new CEO of Alpine. Although the team principal has not yet been announced. Rossi is the director of strategy and business development of Groupe Renault.
Renault hasn’t been able to reproduce the title winning success which they had enjoyed in in the mid 2000’s. Since returning to F1 they had made it back onto the podium in 2020 with top three finishes.
Alonso is rejoining the team this year who has replaced Ricciardo. As Renault swap out there name they are also swapping there yellow colours to blue, red and white.
To be honest, I was so shocked when I heard the news! I was not expecting that… it does make me wonder Abiteboul done so much for the Renault team as he was pushing them to be the best they can be! There’s so many unanswered questions and I will wonder will we ever find out?
