The Renault F1 team launched their 2004 car with lots of ambitions set for the new season. 2003 showed that now there are 4 big teams and that Renault is more than capable of race wins. The goals for 2003, 4 podiums, were more than achieved and the renault F1 team now looks to the new season with lots of expectations.

Patrick Faure, Chairman and CEO of Renault F1, said at the launch:

“We must look to dislodge at least one of the teams above us in the championship, one can no longer just talk about the top three teams: last year, we became part of the Big Four. Renault’s targets for this year are, logically, placed higher, and in order to achieve them, absolute reliability will be critical. The correct steps were taken last year in order to ensure this, and we are confident we will attain this target from Melbourne onwards.”

“I enter this new season feeling confident,” commented Managing Director Flavio Briatore. “Everything is in place, both at Enstone and at Viry-Châtillon, for us to have a fast and reliable car. We are delighted to enjoy excellent relationships with our historic partners Mild Seven, Total and Michelin and thrilled to welcome dynamic, famous brands such as i-mode and Guru as team Partners, Puma as an Official Supplier of team clothing and footwear, as well as additional new technical suppliers. We are looking forward to sharing a successful year. As a team, I certainly don’t think we have yet attained our maximum.”
