Renault had a mixed season in 2020, with some strong performances and podium finishes, but also some disappointments. The team finished fifth in the Constructors’ Championship, behind McLaren and Racing Point. Abiteboul acknowledges that there is room for improvement and is looking forward to making some changes during the winter break.

Abiteboul is confident that this rebranding will bring a fresh start for the team and is excited about the possibilities it presents.

In addition to the rebranding, Renault is also focusing on improvements to their car and technical team for the upcoming season. Abiteboul has hinted at changes to the car’s aerodynamics and power unit, as well as enhancements to their driver line-up. The team is also working on strengthening their partnership with engine supplier, Groupe Renault, to ensure a competitive package for 2021.

Abiteboul is confident that the changes being made during the winter break will put Renault in a better position to compete at the front of the grid next season. He is optimistic about the team’s prospects and is looking forward to seeing the results of their hard work when the 2021 season kicks off.

With a new team name, technical improvements, and a renewed sense of focus, Renault is gearing up for an exciting season in Formula 1. Abiteboul’s enthusiasm and determination are sure to be key factors in the team’s success as they strive to achieve their goals in the upcoming season. Fans will be eagerly anticipating the start of the 2021 season to see what Renault’s changes will bring to the track.
