Abiteboul: “Renault could leave F1”

In the same way as the leaders Red Bull also those Renault they don't seem to have clear ideas. One moment they want to strengthen their commitment to the Circus, the next they aspire to abandon it.

“I confirm that we are evaluating various options – declared the general director of the French company Cyril Abiteboul – Everything will depend on our resilience or a possible bad reputation around our name. At that point we would find ourselves having to leave F1."

Then on the chances of taking over Toro Rosso he concluded: "The main target is to become competitive again as engine engineers, only then can we think about creating a single-seater".

Finally a joke from the Austrian boss Christian horner: “If they were to retreat we would be forced to follow them. I see a collaboration with Mercedes or Ferrari as unlikely...".
