Prost: “Renault is not obliged to win”

Unlike the German car manufacturers, the Renault he has no moral obligation to place his cars in front of others to advertise. He declared this to Auto Motor und Sport Alain Prost not hiding a certain typical transalpine grandeur resulting from the awareness of the strong sporting structure behind the brand's return to F1 as owner of a team.

“We don't want to become world champions at all costs. Fighting for the top positions is enough for us. However, if the title arrives later we will be happy - the Professor's words - Ours has always been a top team. The situation is different for Mercedes or Audi. For them, a global success truly represents an important marketing platform."

“It should be underlined that Losanga's plan is long-term. For now at nine years - the consideration of Senna's great rival between the end of the '80s and the beginning of the '90s - Consequently, even in the face of the well-known economic problems suffered by Lotus in the recent past, it will be difficult to immediately aim for the top. You just have to work hard and be patient. Personally, I don't believe in big results before two/three seasons."
