Renault

Renault first entered F1 as a French works constructor in 1977, pioneering 1.5-litre turbocharged engines and taking the first turbo Grand Prix victory at Dijon in 1979 with Jean-Pierre Jabouille. After withdrawing its works team in 1985, Renault purchased Enstone-based Benetton in 2000 and returned under the Renault name in 2002. With Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella, Renault broke Ferrari's 6-year Constructors' streak in 2005 and defended both titles in 2006 with the V8-powered R26. Those consecutive doubles made Renault the first French-licensed constructor to win the Constructors' Championship and the 2nd French-built winner after Matra in 1969. Across its 3 works spells (1977–1985, 2002–2011, 2016–2020) before rebranding as Alpine, Renault recorded 35 wins, 103 podiums, and 51 poles, while its engines powered 12 Constructors' Champions. Renault won 2 Constructors' Championships in 2005 and 2006 alongside 35 Grand Prix victories as a works constructor.
