Nlatio Turbocharged November 5, 2009 Share November 5, 2009 RENAULT have held an emergency board meeting in Paris to discuss pulling out of Formula One, on the same day as Toyota announced it was also quitting the sport, reports said on Thursday. The French car company was considering whether to remain in Formula One, switch to become an engine supplier only to teams, or exit the sport altogether, the BBC reported. The outcome of Wednesday's meeting, attended by Formula One team bosses Bob Bell and Jean-Francois Caubet, was not immediately clear, the Guardian said. Renault has been dogged in recent months by a race-fix scandal in which they decided not to contest charges that Nelson Piquet was ordered to deliberately crash in Singapore last year to help teammate Fernando Alonso to victory. Renault's former team boss was banned from the sport indefinitely and its chief engineer was suspended for five years. Renault finished a dismal eighth out of 10 in the constructors' championship after the final race of the season on Sunday in Abu Dhabi. -- AFP Wah in future, what will become of F1 with all the big name pulling out one by one..... will our multi billion infrastructure become white elephant......... Or we may get to see the following in F1 races...... 1. Chery 2. Foton 3. Geely 4. Kuchin 5. Kurak ....... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
