New driver must 'buy into Renault's project', says Abiteboul as Alonso denies rumour
Jul 3, 2020
Renault says they need a driver for 2021 who can "buy in" to the team's project as they confirm talks with various options.
The French manufacturer has been left a vacant seat for next season following Daniel Ricciardo's decision to bail out after just two years at Enstone and join McLaren alongside Lando Norris.
Ever since the Australian made that announcement, team boss Cyril Abiteboul has been a little critical suggesting Ricciardo didn't have the faith in Renault's effort to return to the front in Formula 1.
And despite the variety of names being mentioned, ranging from world champions like Sebastian Vettel to Academy members like Guanyu Zhou, it is the commitment that Abiteboul is looking for.
“We need first a driver for each car!" he told Motorsport Week. “We need a quick driver, we need a talented driver, and we need a driver that can understand and buy into Renault’s project.

“We are very clear about the nature of our team, we are a bit of a unique team in the Formula 1 landscape, at the same time very loyal to Formula 1 but also a young team, still in the making with some struggles, in particular last year.
