Renault said goodbye to Cyril Abiteboul as the team transitioned to Alpine for the 2021 Formula One season. However, CEO Laurent Rossi does not have anyone in mind to replace the Frenchman as the team principal.
Thus, the responsibilities will be split between Marcin Budkowski and Davide Brivio.
In addition, the team’s transformation saw the return of Fernando Alonso, a veteran Spanish driver who will team up with Esteban Ocon for the 2021 season. In their first season, the two drivers aim to propel the French team to new heights.
