Renault F1 Team has detailed its plans to maintain its momentum in the FIA Formula One World Championship.

Renault F1 Team's star driver line-up of Nico Hülkenberg and Daniel Ricciardo was also presented to attending media and partners, underscoring Renault's commitment to long-term success.

Jérôme Stoll, President of Renault Sport Racing, also confirmed Renault's ongoing commitment to the sport. "At Renault, we are passionate about motorsport. Our history in F1 has continued unbroken for more than 40 years. Formula 1 is a show, a spectacle, pure entertainment, but it is also the highest level in motorsport. F1 makes sense for Renault; it is a laboratory for our future road going technology - as seen by the new engine designation - Renault E-Tech 19. It is a very exciting time to be part of F1."

Renault F1 Team managing director, Cyril Abiteboul, outlined the team's aim to keep this momentum going into 2019: "Launching all these projects while participating in the championship was an incredible challenge, as was getting the major points finished. The final commissioning of the investments was a tremendous achievement and I'm impressed by how everyone has taken to the task. Engine excellency will be our priority in Viry while the structure now in place in Enstone strives to improve the competitiveness of the chassis, season after season."

Abiteboul also said: “ I believe we have one of the strongest - if not the strongest - driver line-up on the grid. Daniel brings proven race winning experience and knowledge of a top team, while Nico is hungry. He's hugely underrated - he's quick, determined and a team motivator. Individually they are very strong and I feel the two will complement each other extremely perfectly. The energy they have brought to the team is very tangible and I hope we can give them a car to show their considerable talent."

Nico Hülkenberg embarks on his third year of competition with the team in 2019. "As a team, we've developed a lot since the start of 2017 and that's all part of the process if we want to achieve our long-term targets. When I arrived, the infrastructure was still young, we've come a long way since then with a lot of progress. I want to extract the best from myself and maximise the potential from the team and the car. The important thing is, as a team, we take a good leap forward and perform better consistently. We want the trend to continue upwards and keep the developments coming."

Australian Daniel Ricciardo, a seven-time Grand Prix winner, joins Renault F1 Team for his first season in yellow. "Renault has a massive history in motorsport, so to be part of the next step of their Formula 1 journey is an exciting challenge. I'm here to do a job on track and drive as fast as possible, but I would like to bring the team energy. I want to put a spring in everyone's step because that's part of my job and also my character. I aim to be able to get the team to work that extra bit harder, put in more effort and rally everyone together. I'd like to be a catalyst for positive energy."

Ricciardo aims for 2019 to be a fresh start: "Everything I learnt in 2018 will make me a better version of myself in 2019. The difference will be a more mature person. I have more clarity of where I'm going and I aim for that to be shown with good results on track. I feel a lot of positive pressure and expectation to do good things, but that's something I'm looking forward to taking on."
