Another Formula 1 manufacturers threatened to resign. Renault currently deliberately swayed by his boss, after a special meeting a few days ago. Last Thursday (5 / 11, yesterday in the morning GMT), Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn said only that the team's fate was announced before the end of 2009.
Since the beginning of this year, Renault's future is often questioned. Financially, the company is not as rich as some other manufacturers and also the team's performance disappointing. If there are manufacturers who followed step backward Honda, Renault was the leading candidate.
Plus Crash-gate scandal Nelson Piquet Jr. a few months ago, the tails withdrawal of two high-ranking team, Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds.
At that time, Renault still insists on going to continue the pursuit of F1. In fact, they have signed a top driver, Robert Kubica, to join start next season.
Including claimed back when BMW, Renault still looks solid. New shakiness seen when Toyota said back at the beginning of this week. Renault also held an emergency meeting to discuss the future of the team. The result? Yes, Ghosn presented above. The fate of the team decided before 2009 ends.
''You have to be patient. We will make an announcement about our participation in F1 before this year ends, "he said as reported by Reuters.
Currently, there are practically only three manufacturers in F1. Namely, Renault, Ferrari, and Mercedes-Benz. However, Mercedes did not lose the team, choosing to support the engine and the other McLaren. Ferrari is not the manufacturer,''beneran "such as Renault or Toyota. More matches known as car sales team, not the car manufacturers to make the team.
So, if Renault retreat, a new era actually started in F1. Era without the full involvement of the manufacturer.
If it backed Renault, Kubica had to find another team. Reportedly, the management has begun to speak with McLaren, trying to become a new partner Lewis Hamilton.
If it's backed Renault, Red Bull team had to think about the machine. Currently the team has not had a contract for the 2010 engine.
Possibility Renault was looking for a buyer until the end of 2009 the team was. If anyone wants, the team will be released, and then changed the status of a Renault engine suppliers Mercedes style.
If no one wants, the new situation is more complicated. Dismissed directly or push yourself with mediocre funds for a year, before retreating at the end of 2010
