They will join reigning Formula Renault Eurocup champion Max Fewtrell, Eurocup rookie winner Christian Lundgaard and Victor Martins, who are retained from last year, on the 2019 programme. GP3 Series champion Anthoine Hubert – Affiliated Driver last season – becomes a fully­fledged Academy member. For 2019, four drivers will be present at Grand Prix weekends as Anthoine and Guanyu (FIA Formula 2 Championship) and Max and Christian (FIA Formula 3 Championship) compete on the Formula 1 support bill. Victor and Caio will race in the Formula Renault Eurocup, which takes on nine Grand Prix circuits including Monaco and Yas Marina.

Renault Sport Academy Director, Mia Sharizman: “I’m confident in the six drivers we have signed for 2019. Each of them has demonstrated the necessary qualities to win races and compete for championships, which underscores the strength of this line­up. As the programme grows, we have to be more stringent and the requirements to be a member of the Academy grow stricter. We’re very happy with our approach, which will see us bear fruit at the end of the year as we near to the time when we aim to have an Academy driver competing for the Formula 1 seat. For now, all six drivers have their objectives for this season and we’re excited to see how the racing pans out.” Renault Sport Racing Managing Director, Cyril Abiteboul: “We’re extremely pleased to have such a talented pool of drivers on the Renault Sport Academy. All six drivers have shown themselves to be exciting talents in the junior categories and we look forward to working with them in 2019. The Formula 1 team will draw benefits from having a group of outstanding drivers – both in the short­term and long­term – and the Academy will continue to help in that way for years to come. We’re looking forward to continuing with Max, Christian, Anthoine and Victor and we’re really pleased to have Guanyu and Caio beginning their journey with the team. We’ll be supporting all six drivers to help them enjoy a successful season.” Renault Sport Academy Launched in 2016, the Renault Sport Academy aims to find and nurture young racing drivers through the junior racing championships with the overall objective to place an Academy driver in the Formula 1 race seat.

  • PRESS RELEASE Magneti Marelli Motorsport: Achievements of 2012
    PRESS RELEASE Magneti Marelli Motorsport: achievements of 2012 In 2012, Magneti Marelli supplied its technologies to several winning teams, among which the world champions of the Formula 1, WRC and MotoGP championships. In 2012, Magneti Marelli was again alongside the main motorsport teams as they came to victory in the most important world competitions. Specifically, this year Magneti Marelli provided support to the teams in the achievement of the following victories: drivers’ and constructors’ titles in Formula 1, drivers’ and constructors’ titles in the WRC (World Rally Championship), rider’s title in the MotoGP, drivers’ and constructors’ titles in the IRC (Intercontinental Rally Challenge). Thanks to the partnership with different teams, Magneti Marelli was at the top of the podium even in the Superbike World Championship, in the AMA SBK (American Superbike Championship), in the GP2 and GP3 series, in the FIA GT, DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters), WTCC (World Touring Car Championship) and GT WEC (World Endurance Championship), as well as in the Indycar and Le Mans Series. Magneti Marelli’s leading technologies once again played the starring role in world motorsport. These include the KERS (system for the recovery of kinetic energy under braking), the electronic engine control units, the injectors, and the data acquisition and telemetry systems. These results drive Magneti Marelli to develop yet more new technologies to use during the upcoming seasons, such as, for example, the ERS system developed for the some top motorsport competitions, which combines the recovery of kinetic energy under braking with the energy generated by exhaust gases. The other technologies include, specifically for Formula 1, a two-way WI-FI data transmission system from vehicle to infrastructure (e.g.: race car-pits), and injectors and pumps for GDI engines with operating pressures up to 500 bar.
