Renault leaving too?

Mike Amos · Renault leaving too?

Wonder when that piece of news will be confirmed. Off to London later to see the ol' duchess and the folks for a few days. By the time Bess and I get there this should have been sorted out. Cheerio chaps.

Alot or rumour and speculation, apparently nothing will be announced until Friday as there is a Renault thing going on today that Ghosn doesn't want over shadowed by F1 talk, funny that as there seems to be nothing but Renault F1 talk at the moment.

Will they leave immediately, will they leave after 2010, will they stay as an engine supplier? I believe Red Bull have confirmed an extension of their engine contract with Renault as a deal couldn't be agreed with Mercedes.

I hate all this rumour crap as I just spend all day surfing the net trying to find out what's going on.

I reckon they are going to announce their departure end of 2010 and remain as an engine supplier.

I can't see Renault sticking around after next year. Maybe they'll remain as an engine supplier, assuming the Cosworth doesn't blow it into the weeds next year.

Looks like F1 will further contract into M-B (via McLaren and Brawn) vs Ferrari.

They are racing in 2010...

Still haven't said who the second driver will be.

Nothing like keeping all of your employees hanging on not knowing what's going to happen.

That sounds like they're trying to put some kind of pressure on the FIA - maybe to give them more money?

Autosport says that Formula Renault 3.5 series champion Bertrand Baguette will make his Formula 1 debut next month when he tests for the Renault team.

Presumably he'll be left with the crumbs sandwiched between Kubica and Grosjean. I hope he doesn't make a bloomer.

Hopefully he'll be a success, otherwise he'll be toast.
