F1 Renault Wallpaper, #12329

Renault F1 is the Renault company's Formula One racing team. Renault
has a long if intermittent history of involvement in motor racing,
including Ferenc Szisz winning the first French Grand Prix, usually
regarded as marking the birth of Grand Prix motor racing. Renault has
competed in Formula One (originally via subsidiary Renault Sport), both
as an engine supplier and as a constructor from the late 1970s to the
present day, with several breaks. Renault introduced the turbo engine
to Formula One when they debuted their first car, the Renault RS01 at
Silverstone in 1977. Although the Renault team won races and competed
for world titles, it was as a supplier of normally aspirated engines to
the Benetton and Williams teams in the 1990s that Renault first tasted
world championship success. Renault returned to the category as a
constructor in 2001 by taking over the Benetton team, which was renamed
Renault in 2002. Their first championship as a constructor was achieved
in 2005; the same year that they won their first drivers' championship
with former test driver, Fernando Alonso, repeating that feat in 2006.
