We showed Monza means we have an immediate opportunity to bounce back and hopefully score well. ACADEMY Mia Sharizman, Renault Sport Academy Director “It was the hardest weekend for the Academy and for me personally. Everyone in the Academy looked up to Anthoine as being the benchmark for how to conduct themselves on and off track. He was humble and yet fast, he was caring and yet focused on being the best. He would help the younger drivers in the Academy and still complete his own training programme with absolute maximum effort. “Anthoine spent the last week of his life with the Academy boys at the training camp in the Pyrenees. It was he who convinced me that it will be good for everyone and he wanted to achieve this along with his fellow drivers as it was ‘a once in a lifetime achievement for all’. That is Anthoine – always thinking about others. “Anthoine was moving up nicely in the Academy where we already identified his F2 programme for 2020. He will be a great lost for us as he was also crucial in the development of the F1 team too. “It’s going to be difficult to move on but Anthoine would want each and everyone in the Academy to reach their goals and be the best they can be. There are races and championships to be won. The rest of the boys will focus on this, as they know that is what Anthoine would have wanted them to do. He has made everyone in the Academy a better person. That is how we will remember him.” ACADEMY FORMULA 2 jack Aitken “Although everything feels pretty unimportant right now, we have to keep moving, so we set our sights on Monza and doing the best job we can in Anthoine’s memory. Monza always produces some of the closest racing of the year so I’m looking forward to that.” Guanyu Zhou “There has been lots of emotions going through my mind over these last few days. Now, I will keep my head up and be fully focused for Italy. We will be racing with Anthoine in our hearts and we will do everything possible to have the best race for ourselves and for him.” ACADEMY formula 3 Christian LundgaarD “Monza is a great circuit and I have some good memories there. It will be tough to get back on track, but I will be racing for my friend Anthoine and his family. We struggled to get the qualifying right in Spa – we made up for that in the races – so we’ll be concentrating on being higher up the grid this weekend, fighting for the wins.” MAX FEWTRELL “Spa was a really dark weekend for everyone in motorsport. It affected all of us Academy guys, we were very close to Anthoine. It was a tough one to take, but we’ll remember him for who he was. We’ll race every lap for him. I’m looking forward to Monza now. We didn’t get the results in Spa, we were on the backfoot from qualifying, which we know we need to do better in. We’ll reset and go again this weekend and get some good results for our friend.” Yifei Ye “I’m really looking forward to the upcoming race weekend. I’ve always liked Monza and I took my maiden win in Formula Renault there last year. It will be fascinating to race at more than 300kph. I will be doing my best to score some great results, especially for our beloved hero Anthoine.” ACADEMY Eurocup victor martins “It’s a back to back race, so I’m fully ] focused on Budapest. The Nürburgring was the worst race of my career so far in terms of pure performance but we will keep working hard to improve. I couldn’t really pay tribute to my friend Anthoine last Sunday because of an engine issue but I’m sure the team and I will do our best to hold the French flag on the podium. It could also be a turning point in the championship if we find our true pace. I’m racing for Anthoine!” caio collet “I think we can have a strong weekend in Budapest. We need to improve and work on in a few areas but I’m confident that we will do it. I will be racing for Anthoine, so the team and I will do our best to make him proud.” LEONARDO LORANDI “I’m looking forward to the Hungaroring this weekend. It’s a new track again for me but from working on the simulator, it looks to be fun and a bit like a kart circuit! It’s the first race after the tragic loss of our friend and colleague Anthoine Hubert. His soul will always be with us and our thoughts will be for him. I will try to have some good results to make him proud.” 306.720 53 1:21.046s 5.793 Race dis tanc e (KM) Numbe r of laps Lap record Rubens Barrichello (2004) Circuit length (KM ) Ideal lap 1:19.005s 2018 pe rformanc e TYRE SELECTION 3 9 9.

  • 2020 Formula 1 Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix
    2020 Formula 1 Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix, Sunday Renault DP World F1 Team scored six points from the Heineken Portuguese Grand Prix with Esteban Ocon eighth and Daniel Ricciardo ninth at the first race in Portugal for 24 years. The double points finish means the team moves onto 120 points to remain fifth in the Constructors’ Championship and six points from third place. An action-packed race start saw Daniel move up to eighth after an early battle with the Red Bull of Alexander Albon, whilst Esteban was caught in a melee for the final points scoring position. As predicted, light rain was ever present during the race, but it was never heavy enough to alter proceedings. With grip levels consistently low, Daniel was the first to box with his Soft tyres wearing down rapidly forcing him to pit on lap 14 for fresh Mediums. With Daniel dropping towards the rear of the field having pitted early, Esteban - on the alternate strategy - completed 53 laps on his Medium tyres and was the last to make a first stop. By the time of his stop, Daniel, had scythed his way through the field with others stopping and was safely inside the top ten and in a battle for eighth with Sebastian Vettel. A slightly slow stop for Esteban meant he re-joined just ahead of his teammate, and despite having strong pace on the Softs for the final fifteen laps he was unable to make any major inroads on the cars ahead. Esteban crossed the finish line in eighth position, with Daniel just behind in ninth making it a double-points finish for the team.

  • GUANYU ZHOU to DEBUT in AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX Alpine F1
    GUANYU ZHOU TO DEBUT IN AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX Alpine F1 Team is pleased to confirm Guanyu Zhou will participate in his first-ever Formula 1 practice session at the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix this weekend. Zhou, currently Test Driver for the team and Alpine Academy member since 2019, will be handed his F1 weekend debut for the first practice session of the event, taking Fernando Alonso’s A521 for the duration of the one-hour practice. Zhou joined the Academy at the start of 2019 on the back of three consecutive years in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship. He claimed Top Rookie in his maiden season in the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship after securing five podiums throughout the campaign. In 2020, Zhou recorded his first Formula 2 win in the Sochi Sprint Race – becoming the first mainland Chinese driver to win an international single-seater race, on his way to sixth place in the Championship. The 22-year- old currently leads the 2021 Formula 2 series after three rounds with two victories in Bahrain and Monaco and has two further podiums to his name. Zhou will become the first Chinese driver in eight years to participate in an F1 weekend. He was also the first Chinese driver to drive a Formula 1 car on the streets of a downtown Chinese city when he took the Renault-powered E20 Formula 1 car to the streets of Xintiandi, the fashion district of his hometown Shanghai, in 2019. Guanyu Zhou: “Driving in FP1 at a Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend is like a dream coming true and another step closer to my ultimate goal of becoming a Formula 1 driver.
