Le sport automobile fait partie intégrante de notre ADN et des courses de Formula E en ville au rallye jusqu’à la F1, nous y avons toujours obtenu des résultats exceptionnels. Renault Sport Formula One Team vise une répétition de ce formidable passé. 2017 a confirmé que nous sommes sur la bonne voie. Nous sommes une équipe en pleine progression. Nous avons deux pilotes talentueux aux dents longues. Le site d’Enstone est revitalisé et les effectifs ont déjà augmenté de plus de 35 %. À Viry, notre engagement à long terme dans plusieurs disciplines nous permet d’élaborer un vrai projet pour nos infrastructures. Jusqu’ici, nos efforts se sont traduits avec succès en piste.

La réussite de notre programme en seulement deux ans témoigne du sérieux du projet établi dès la genèse de l’écurie et du travail accompli par Cyril et l’ensemble des équipes de Renault Sport Racing. Je suis convaincu que notre troisième saison nous rapprochera de notre objectif à long terme : les victoires et la lutte pour les titres mondiaux.
