In a statement, the Renault brand said it has entered a ‘multi-year agreement’ with the German company, which bases its F1 powertrain operations at Brixworth in the United Kingdom. The arrangement is confirmed until at least 2030, when the next F1 rules cycle is due to end.
Alpine’s announcement comes after it confirmed in September that it would cease developing and building F1 engines at its factory in Viry-Chatillon, France, which has historically been the home of Renault’s motorsport activities.
