Our world champion driver, team principal and chief technical officer all visited the Renault Sport F1 Factory in France today.
Sebastian, Christian and Adrian, together with Dr Helmut Marco were at our engine suppliers base in Viry-Châtillon today to celebrate the world titles and to thank Renault for their contribution to our success.
Vettel said: “The co-operation between Milton Keynes and Viry is fantastic and they are pushing hard to make the engine even better and allow Adrian and his team to design the best chassis they possibly can. The amount of commitment this year has been extraordinary; if there was anything that made a difference, this was it: the teamwork. The success we have had these last two years is a fantastic reward for the commitment of everyone here at Viry and within the wider Renault group.”
Adrian’s association with Renault stretches back to 1991 and, in recognition of the success he and the supplier have had, was presented with unique gift, a sculpture of parts from various race-winning engines. Together, Adrian and Renault have secured seven constructors’ titles and six drivers’ crowns.
Newey said: “‘I worked with Renault in the ’90s and was impressed with the commitment, innovation and drive of the team at Viry-Châtillon. Renault understands that the engine-chassis package is just that; it’s a joint effort. RSF1 has been crucial in the development of the RB7, so I’m really pleased to be able to thank everyone behind the scenes who has contributed so much to the success we’ve achieved this year.”
Together the Red Bull Racing-Renault partnership has produced 27 wins, 38 pole positions and consecutive drivers’ and constructors’ double championships. We announced a five-year extension of the partnership in September to work together until at least the end of the 2016 season.
