Renault F1

Renault was the Formula One motor racing constructor name used by French car manufacturer Renault. The name was used for the cars developed by Renault's "Equipe Renault" team from 1977 to 1985 and for the cars of the Enstone-based F1 team between 2002 and 2010 whilst it was under Renault ownership and named "Renault F1 Team". The name continued to be used as the constructor name of the Enstone team for the 2011 season even after the team name was changed to "Lotus Renault GP" after the new owners Genii Capital entered into a partnership deal with Group Lotus.

Renault (the French car company) had some involvement in early motorsport, including Ferenc Szisz winning the first French Grand Prix. However, it was not until 1977 that the company entered Formula One as a constructor, introducing the turbo engine to Formula One in their first car, the Renault RS01. Although the Renault team won races and competed for world titles, it withdrew at the end of 1985.

The Renault car company returned to Formula One in 2000 when they acquired the Enstone-based Benetton team (formerly Toleman). For the first two seasons under Renault the team continued to be called "Benetton Formula" and used "Benetton" as their constructor name. In 2002 Renault rebranded the team as the "Renault F1 Team" and started to use "Renault" as its constructor name. Under this Renault guise, the Enstone team won the Drivers' and Constructors' championships in 2005 and 2006.
