We all felt bad when we heard the news about the engine a few days ago. All the media are criticizing Renault's past and whether they did the right thing by deciding to stop engine production from 2026 onwards. Personally, although I consider myself one of the biggest supporters of Renault, after De Meo's interview I understood and agree with the decision. To succeed, we need people and facilities, things we didn't have. Look at this decision as an opportunity for Renault to save some money, to give Briatore time to get Enstone together, to rebuild our image as a team a bit and when the opportunity arises, I'm sure Renault will come back. Of course it's frustrating to scrap the 2026, especially after the promising signs but, that's F1.

I understand the reason, but we haven't been so transparent like right now. Not to mention that Renault successes are invisible. Maybe I'm too salty, but that's what I see.

There won't be another driver like him. King of late breaking and last minute sends. His stint at Renault won't be forgotten, especially 2020 season with outdriving the car and giving 2 podiums for us.

Just to help clarify the “strategy” here
