Escudería French Renault, present world-wide champion, presented/displayed the new R26 single-seater today for the next season of Formula 1 in Montecar it. The presentation tasted certain of goodbye, taking into account that Alonso announced in December its decision to go to McLaren from the world-wide one of 2007.
Renault wants to defend both obtained titles the year last in the Formula 1, the one of pilots and the one of constructors, and for that it trusts the yield of his new bolide, the R26.
“As far as our objectives, it only can have one: to be fighting by the world-wide title until the last races”, explained the President of the equipment Renault F1, Patrick Faure. “We did not confront this new season without changes in the direction of the equipment, nor either between our pilots and equipment. Everybody in Viry and Enstone has been working to prepare a technical set able to maintain us in highest. The self-satisfaction does not take place in Renault. We are trims in trying to repeat our successes.”
“Formula 1 is a unique sport”, explains the Chief of a main directorate Flavio Briatore. “We have a special product: technology, style of life and passion. If the championship gains, is because the technology is had, but also it is to give spectacle. That is what Renault has done. As equipment we have a strong personality and to his around we have reunited to a group of very qualified people and more the high tech.”
“The success is based on people”, adds Briatore. “There is no a single person who causes that the company goes or or badly. An equipment has a heart and when people understand her objectives and are in the suitable structure, they work well. So you need a suitable leadership. The managers explain why the decisions have been taken and soon they make sure that quickly they are fulfilled. The pilot is the last link of the chain, because he interprets and he shapes the work of all the others on the track.”
“the RS26 is a completely new motor, designed to operate the new regulation to the maximum”, explains Rob White. “The regulations now impose many parameters as far as the design of the motor, as the minimum weight, the type of architecture or the center of gravity. We are very pragmatic and our objective is to design a winning motor. The dialog with our colleagues of the chassis equipment has been fluid and constant with the aim of reaching the best possible set. We have confronted east project of the V8 with many desire and ambitions.”
“We have worked to improve the car in each aspect”, explains Bob Bell. “We have integrated all the exigencies that the new V8 motor supposed and have continued with the development of the yield. The more important visual difference with respect to the car of the past year is the pontoons, but the aerodynamic set to the complete one is new. Also we will use a gear box of seven speeds to try to operate to the maximum the power of the new motor. By all means, also we have worked to maintain the good handling of the car of the last year, that so easy turned out to pilot. The R26 is all a declaration of the equipment with that we made clear that we want to return to be in highest in the 2006.”
“The 2006 are a new challenge for me”, comments the champion Fernando Alonso. “Everything begins this year again. At this moment it does not have any value that you say that you can gain the title, but the certain thing is that I want to fight for that reason. Renault has the sufficient potential and the equipment also tells on the confidence that we can do it like the past year. My first impressions of the new car have been very positive and seems that we are competitive in relation to the fastest equipment. My objective is to defend number 1 that it goes serigrafiado in the nose of my R26.”
I know “It rather clearly: I aspire to the championship of the world”, indicated Fisichella. “This equipment is going to defend this year the title and is going to work hard to return to gain it, so I have many desire of being able to complete a great season. There will be one heals rivalry with Fernando. And reason why respecta, I want to add points, to gain races and to fight by the championship.”
