- Renault plans to end manufacture by 2026
- Groups to make feelings felt in Monza stands
Employees of the engine manufacturer for the Alpine Formula One team are to stage a protest at Monza on the opening day of the Italian Grand Prix on Friday. They will express their anger at the plan of the team’s owner, the Renault Group, to cease production of their engine by the 2026 season.
The engine is manufactured at the Renault facility at Viry-Châtillon, in the southern suburbs of Paris, where the company has been designing and developing the units since 1977. Renault engines have claimed 169 race wins and 10 constructors’ titles with Williams, Benetton and Red Bull plus two as a works team.
