The Renault F1 Team announced on Tuesday that Jérôme Stoll will resign as president of Renault Sport Racing. He will resign after December 31, 2020 and will no longer be responsible for the ins and outs of the Formula 1 team. Interestingly enough, his resignation coincides with the new direction the team will take from 2021 under the name Alpine F1 Team.

Intense five years

"These five years as President of Renault Sport Racing have been very intense," Stoll said his reaction in the statement of Renault F1 Team. "Taking up the challenge of rebuilding a Formula 1 team is tough, it takes time, commitment and unfailing determination. A first step has been taken with a team and drivers that we can now see on the podium."

"I appreciate the privilege of being able to be part of all these changes and all our progress. Motorsport, and even more so Formula 1, is above all a human adventure, encounters, bonds that are forged, joys, disappointments and invaluable rewards. The Formula E titles and seeing young drivers racing in our cars in the Eurocup or Clio Cup are an integral part of what has been a wonderful experience."

"I owe a lot to every collaborator in this company. They are committed and determined to give their best to make our brand and our values ​​shine. A new chapter is now opening with Alpine and I am sure the best is yet to come. I am happy and proud to have been part of this great adventure with such great people."

Five year project

Renault team boss Cyril Abiteboul has worked closely with Stoll over the past five years to build the team into what it is today. Abiteboul said: "What a long way we have come together from the start of the project in June 2015 to this season's podiums. Jérôme's passion for competition as well as his loyalty to the women and men of the team have been of invaluable help over the years. "

The same message that Renault CEO Luca de Meo shares in his response: "His experience and expertise, acquired during his career at Renault, have been key assets in the structuring and progression of our F1 team. For all this work accomplished over the last five years, thank you Jérôme. "
