HAVING WON THE TEAMS’ TITLE IN THE INAUGURAL FIA FORMULA E CHAMPIONSHIP, RENAULT E.DAMS RETURNS FOR ITS SECOND CAMPAIGN IN 2015/16 WITH ONE GOAL: TO SECURE BOTH THE TEAMS’ AND DRIVERS’ TITLES, CELEBRATING THEIR RENEWED PARTNERSHIP WITH RENAULT WHO, THIS YEAR, HAVE SUPPLIED THE ALL-NEW ELECTRIC POWERTRAIN THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE TEAM BY RENAULT SPORT F1.
“I think we’re looking good this year. Everyone will have to bring the level of performance, organisation, discipline just a little bit higher this season. Obviously last season was the first season and year of learning for all of the teams using the same cars. So this year is going to be tough, especially with all the new technology. We don’t know where we will be strong or not as strong so consistency is really key. However, with such a strong backing from Renault and their wealth of experience will be a real help. Hopefully we can really fight for both titles this season.”
JEAN-PAUL DRIOT
“We definitely need to up our game this year as I think all the other teams have stepped up and are looking very competitive. I’m quite confident following testing in Donington. Our package that has been developed by Renault seems to be really strong thanks to its profound knowledge and experience in electric systems – and the performance has already been proven during pre-season testing. But we really need to concentrate because, although last year we secured the Teams’ title, this year is really about pushing what we know to the limits.”
Nicholas Prost:
“I’m delighted to be remaining with Renault e.dams for this year’s FIA Formula E Championship. It’s important to stay in the same team for the sake of continuity. Everyone knows each other well and it’s much easier to work with the same guys and in the same environment. It’ll be exciting to see what we can achieve this year, especially with the new powertrain from Renault and a promising first run at Donington.”
Sebastien Buemi:
“I’m so pleased that I’ll be working with the guys at Renault e.dams again because we all get on so well. The team is a little bigger than last year with Renault being on board but having a big manufacturer like that only strengthens the team. After our promising performance testing things are looking good, but it’s too early to say what will happen during the season. Let’s see!.”
