Cyril Abiteboul leaves Renault

Renault have announced F1 Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul is leaving the company, ahead of the team’s relaunch as Alpine for this year.
A long time Renault employee, Abiteboul has been in sole charge of the F1 team since 2017, but is now leaving the company altogether, following a shake-up by new CEO Luca de Meo, who joined from SEAT last year.
Laurent Rossi, the Director of Strategy and Business Development of Groupe Renault, is taking over the new CEO of Alpine, which will also see him assume control of the F1 team, and report to De Meo.

I personally feel it is a well-judged move by Renault. Their management desperately needs a shake-up to get back to the Podium days.

Renault have not been able to reproduce the title-winning success they enjoyed in the mid-2000s since rejoining F1 as a full constructor in 2016, though they did finally make it back on to the podium in 2020 with three top three finishes between Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon.

Fernando Alonso is rejoining the Enstone-based outfit for this season, replacing Ricciardo, who moves to McLaren, as Renault swap their name and yellow colours for Alpine and blue, red and white of the French flag

I think Renault is setting up the Alpine team as a unit that can be sold at a moment's notice, by the way things are going.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next billionaire who witnessed a surge of income during the pandemic buys the team as a project.

Heck, it might even be dear Nikita's father after he makes some stupid move that gets him kicked out of Haas (fingers crossed for that transgression to happen)
