Renault

This year is a new dawn for the former champion team.

The sale of a majority stake to Gerard Lopez's Genii Capital has safeguarded its future, and the loss of Fernando Alonso to Ferrari has been softened by the arrival of Robert Kubica and highly-regarded Frenchman Eric Boullier has come in as team principal.

After a dismal 2009, blighted by poor form and the Singapore Grand Prix crash controversy, this is a rebuilding year for the revitalised outfit.
