Renault President admits F1 return is possible

(6-Oct-98) - Louis Schweitzer has admitted on French radio that a return to
Formula 1 could be on the cards for Renault.

The company's president said it has an ambition to, "return one day to
F1, to win. We have a new team of engineers, a new generation, which is
working to develop an engine that will return a competitive advantage to
Renault. The decision to return will depend on technology."

Sources suggest that the company could be aiming at a return to Formula 1
as early as the 2000, possibly with Benetton.

BAR is also understood to be chasing the possibility of any possibility of
a Renault engine deal.
