Formula One Teams 2010 ~ Renault

February 6, 2010 · Posted in Formula 1 

Renault’s future in F1 got a bit shakey as their two major sponsors, ING and Mutua Madrilena, pulled out. Both companies cited the race fixing scandal during last season as reasons for their departure. In spite of this set-back, Renault has managed to pull together and will be on the grid for the first race in Bahrain. Renault will also be making F1 history this season by giving a seat to Formula One’s very first Russian driver.
