Renault Group

Renault Group (also known as the Groupe Renault and Renault S.A.) is a French multinational automobile manufacturer.
== History ==
Renault introduced the turbo engine to Formula One when they debuted their first car, the Renault RS01 at British Grand Prix in 1977. The Renault team continued until 1986. From 1989 Renault supplied engines for the successful Williams-Renault car.
Renault took over the Benetton team in for the season and renamed it Renault in . In and the team won the Constructors' and Drivers' titles (with Fernando Alonso). At the 2005 French Grand Prix Carlos Ghosn set out his policy regarding the company's involvement in motorsport:
:"We are not in Formula One out of habit or tradition. We're here to show our talent and that we can do it properly ... Formula One is a cost if you don't get the results. Formula One is an investment if you do have them and know how to exploit them."
Renault powered the winning 2010 Red Bull Racing team, and took a similar role with its old team in December 2010, when it sold its final stake to the investment group Genii Capital, the main stakeholder since December 2009, ending Renault's direct role in running a F1 team for the second time.
Renault bought the Enstone-based team for the 2016 season, rebranding it Renault. In 2021, the team was renamed Alpine and became part of the new Alpine business unit, with Renault retained as the engine nameplate.
