 Renault [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/] didn’t have the greatest of seasons last year. They finished 5th in the constructors’ championship 54 points behind 4th placed McLaren. Renault’s car was plagued with reliability issues last year. However, their engine power didn’t seem too bad. But was it really generating 1000 BHP as Renault claimed? And how much do F1 drivers really care about stuff like that? Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/], Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas may have an answer to that (well sort of). “IF RENAULT CLAIMS TO HAVE 1000 BHP, THEN THEY HAVE A REALLY BAD CAR”- MAX VERSTAPPEN The question was asked to the three aforementioned drivers in a post-qualifying press conference for the Hungarian Grand Prix [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk3EjGJWCIo] last year. Max Verstappen was the first one to answer. He gave a very witty reply saying, “ Well, If they claim to have a 1000 Horsepower they have a really bad car.” He went on to say,” I think it’s better to do the talking on the track than in the media anyway.” The next driver to have a shot at the question was Lewis Hamilton. He said, ” I have no idea what Brake Horsepower we have. It’s all similar. It’s all very close between us all.” Valtteri seemed to give the most professional answer among the three drivers. The Finn said, ” Yeah, actually it was yesterday I asked the team because we had the engine issues. We had some talks about the engine and I asked how much Horsepower is there. The engineer said that they don’t know. They don’t actually know. so no one knows.” Well, that interview seemed to make it very clear about what the driver’s on the grid make of Renault and Horsepower in general. To be fair to them it’s not their job to know either. Their job is to race and not worry about which engine manufacturer has more power. Nevertheless, it’s good fun to see the drivers be laid back for a bit and not be serious all the time. 

Here's what F1 drivers like Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas
make of Renault's bold 1000 Brake Horsepower claims.

<h2>Renault: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
The Renault F1 team first began their F1 operations in 1977 and even supplied engines from 1983. During their first stint in the sport, they won two F1 World Championships, both with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>. They left the sport after the 2011 season, finding their way back in 2016.

Another significant event occurred when Renault debuted, namely the introduction of turbo engines. Renault's 2020 driver lineup consists of former Red Bull star Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon.

Renault's iconic yet modern yellow and black livery is set to change from 2021 when the team rebrands itself to Alpine F1 with a possible livery change reminiscent of the French tricolor. Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso will drive for the team in 2021.

The Renault logo is synonymous with both its road cars and racing team alike. The French team's logo consists of a <a href="https://group.renault.com/en/news-on-air/news/120-years-of-brand-identity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">diamond</a>.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Renault?s first win and first podium both came at the same race. Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the 1979 French Grand Prix, and Rene Arnoux took third.

Their results were very intermittent with numerous retirements, and they withdrew as a team after 1985.

The Renault F1 team would return to the fray in 2002, taking over from the Benetton team. Renault did not start winning again until 2003, with a solitary win from Fernando Alonso.

Renault F1 went another year winless in 2004 before the dynamic changed dramatically in 2005, when Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella dominated the proceedings and took the title. The two repeated the same feat in 2006, with Alonso finishing no lower than fifth during the season.

So far, Renault have bagged 35 race wins, and 103 podiums in 400 race starts. The team has amassed 1,777 points over the course of their storied stint in F1.

The team pulled out yet again in 2011 and rejoined in 2016. Their drivers for that year were Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer. When Magnussen left for Haas, Nico Hulkenberg jumped ship from Force India to the French team.

Later, when Palmer?s contract was terminated, Carlos Sainz was loaned to them by Toro Rosso. Hulkenberg and Sainz would race together for the 2018 season until Sainz moved to McLaren for 2019.

In yet another sequence of driver shuffling, Renault's 2021 lineup will consist of Esteban Ocon and the returning Fernando Alonso.

Alonso will replace Daniel Ricciardo, who is McLaren bound for the 2021 season.
<h2>When did Renault last win in F1?</h2>
Renault's last win in F1 remains the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix, won by Fernando Alonso.

<h2>Best Moments of Renault F1 team</h2>

<h2>Which F1 teams use Renault engines?</h2>
Once one of the most sought-after engine suppliers on the grid, Renault currently supply engines to McLaren alone. However, with McLaren set to switch to Mercedes power in 2021, Renault won't have any customer teams next season.
<h2><strong>Renault?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
Renault are currently <a href="https://www.renaultsport.com/-formule-1-partners-.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">partnered</a> by DP World, Castrol, Infiniti, and RCI Banking Services as their main sponsors. Their other sponsors include Mapfre, Dupont Microsoft, Alpinestars, Boeing, Pirelli, Siemens, and more.
<h2>Renault's charities and foundations</h2>
Responding to the UK government's call for assistance, several F1 teams joined hands in the fight against COVID-19. Renault were one of the seven F1 teams that helped in manufacturing required medical equipment, crucial in the fight against the virus.

The initiative was titled 'Project Pitlane" and even saw Renault <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-renault-horner-unthinkable-scenario/4787716/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">working</a> side by side with Red Bull at the latter's Milton-Keynes factory in the UK.

On-track Achievements Renault?s first win and first podium both came at the same race. Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the 1979 French Grand Prix, and Rene Arnoux took third. Their results were very intermittent with numerous retirements, and they withdrew as a team after 1985. The Renault F1 team would return to the fray in 2002, taking over from the Benetton team. Renault did not start winning again until 2003, with a solitary win from Fernando Alonso. Renault F1 went another year winless in 2004 before the dynamic changed dramatically in 2005, when Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella dominated the proceedings and took the title. The two repeated the same feat in 2006, with Alonso finishing no lower than fifth during the season.

The team has amassed 1,777 points over the course of their storied stint in F1. The team pulled out yet again in 2011 and rejoined in 2016. Their drivers for that year were Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer. When Magnussen left for Haas, Nico Hulkenberg jumped ship from Force India to the French team. Later, when Palmer?s contract was terminated, Carlos Sainz was loaned to them by Toro Rosso. Hulkenberg and Sainz would race together for the 2018 season until Sainz moved to McLaren for 2019. In yet another sequence of driver shuffling, Renault&#8217;s 2021 lineup will consist of Esteban Ocon and the returning Fernando Alonso. Alonso will replace Daniel Ricciardo, who is McLaren bound for the 2021 season. When did Renault last win in F1? Renault&#8217;s last win in F1 remains the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix, won by Fernando Alonso.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partnering <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Fernando Alonso,</a> <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a> <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>. But his skill also comes with him being a hot head often <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/arrogant-comments-from-max-verstappen-in-the-press-conference-lead-to-the-fia-investigation-and-further-penalty/" target="_self" rel="noopener">known to say</a> controversial statements or target teams/players directly.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Max Verstappen: </b>Personal life</h2>
Max Verstappen's father - Jos Verstappen was an F1 driver who currently manages him. Jos' F1 career wasn't quite as successful as his son's. His mother's name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen's sister, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.instagram.com/victoriaverstappen/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victoria</a>, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line.

Verstappen was in a relationship with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/8531890/max-verstappen-girlfriend-dilara-sanlik-f1-red-bull/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dilara Sanlik</a>. As of 2024, Max Verstappen is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet. The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024</h2>
Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn't want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.

Despite his young age and relatively short career, his net worth stands at almost <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/max-verstappen-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$90 million</a>. However, Verstappen's net worth could shoot up, considering the substantial rise in pay from 2024 amidst the newly signed contract. The Dutchman will receive an <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2023/11/29/formula-1s-highest-paid-drivers-2023/?sh=493528e5463f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on-track salary</a> of a whopping $70M, including $25M in bonuses. However, as of now, Verstappen's yearly salary stands at $45M.

While his annual salary at Red Bull puts him among the top brass of the sport, his fan following is topped only by Lewis Hamilton himself.

<h3><strong>Valtteri Bottas 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas made his F1 debut with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Williams</a> in 2013. He would go on to race for them until the 2016 season. Suddenly, in the wake of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nico-rosberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nico Rosberg's</a> shock retirement, the Finn found himself drafted to Mercedes forthwith.

Bottas is on course to completing his 5th season for Mercedes in 2021. However, after a rather bitter-sweet campaign with the Brackley outfit, Bottas decided to head back to the mid-field in 2022; The Finn replaced Kimi Raikkonen at Alfa Romeo.

<h3><b>Valtteri Bottas: Stats &amp; On-Track Achievements</b></h3>
He scored his first set of points at the 2013 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Grand_Prix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">United States Grand Prix</a> with an 8th place finish. He then followed it up with his maiden podium in Austria 2014 coupled with two back-to-back podiums in Silverstone and Hockenheim.

The top step of the podium beckoned in 2017 at the Russian Grand Prix, his first of 10 wins in his entire F1 career so far. However, he underwent a dry spell in 2018 without reaching the top step at all. He came close in Azerbaijan, but a heartbreaking puncture rained all over his parade.

In 2019, he was able to match Lewis Hamilton in the early part of the season. While his win counter dried up a little over the remainder of the season, he was still quick enough to keep pace. Despite not clinching the World Championship, Bottas had his best year in F1 in 2019, winning 4 Grand Prix. However, he was back to playing the supporting role to Hamilton in 2020 and 2021 amidst rival threats from Max Verstappen.

Now, after years of playing the role of a wingman, Bottas is finally starting to show glimpses of his true pace at Alfa Romeo.

Bottas' helmet is pretty synonymous with most F1 fans these days. The Finn's lid features a dark background with splashes of white and blue to accentuate his Finnish background. Interestingly, Valtteri's helmet is non-symmetrical, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPgfq4xReN4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">which is the style he prefers</a>.

Bottas is <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4009772/valtteri-bottas-girlfriend-tiffany-cromwell-f1-wife-emilia-mercedes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">currently dating Australian road cyclist Tiffany Cromwell</a>. The Finn was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilia_Pikkarainen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously married</a> to Finnish professional swimmer Emilia Pikkarainen for 3 years before calling it quits in late 2019.

Valtteri Bottas

Valtteri Bottas 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas made his F1 debut with Williams in 2013. He would go on to race for them until the 2016 season. Suddenly, in the wake of Nico Rosberg&#8217;s shock retirement, the Finn found himself drafted to Mercedes forthwith. Bottas is on course to completing his 5th season for Mercedes in 2021. However, after a rather bitter-sweet campaign with the Brackley outfit, Bottas decided to head back to the mid-field in 2022; The Finn replaced Kimi Raikkonen at Alfa Romeo.

He then followed it up with his maiden podium in Austria 2014 coupled with two back-to-back podiums in Silverstone and Hockenheim. The top step of the podium beckoned in 2017 at the Russian Grand Prix, his first of 10 wins in his entire F1 career so far. However, he underwent a dry spell in 2018 without reaching the top step at all. He came close in Azerbaijan, but a heartbreaking puncture rained all over his parade. In 2019, he was able to match Lewis Hamilton in the early part of the season. While his win counter dried up a little over the remainder of the season, he was still quick enough to keep pace. Despite not clinching the World Championship, Bottas had his best year in F1 in 2019, winning 4 Grand Prix. However, he was back to playing the supporting role to Hamilton in 2020 and 2021 amidst rival threats from Max Verstappen. Now, after years of playing the role of a wingman, Bottas is finally starting to show glimpses of his true pace at Alfa Romeo. Bottas&#8217; helmet is pretty synonymous with most F1 fans these days. The Finn&#8217;s lid features a dark background with splashes of white and blue to accentuate his Finnish background. Interestingly, Valtteri&#8217;s helmet is non-symmetrical, which is the style he prefers. Bottas is currently dating Australian road cyclist Tiffany Cromwell. The Finn was previously married to Finnish professional swimmer Emilia Pikkarainen for 3 years before calling it quits in late 2019.
