Renault finally provides Red Bull with closure: 'We underestimated that'

Renault entered the hybrid era without sufficient preparation, admits group CEO Luca de Meo. The Renault ringleader recently decided to make the French works team a customer team due to their lack of power and recent success. The hundreds of workers at Alpine's engine division in Viry-Chatillon will instead be assigned to different divisions within the team. The Renault-backed team will most likely move to Mercedes engines for the next regulation change in 2026.
