"We are bringing a dream brand alongside the biggest names, for spectacular car races made and followed by enthusiasts.Loss-making Renault, under De Meo, had announced a new organisational structure focused on core brands rather than geographical regions, with Renault F1 team principal Cyril Abiteboul overseeing one of the four divisions.
