Renault announced that its driver line-up of Jarno Trulli and Fernando Alonso would remain unchanged for the following season. “This driver line-up provides us with the perfect balance,” said team boss Flavio Briatore. “Next year will be Jarno’s eighth season in Formula 1, and everybody knows he is an extremely fast, competitive racing driver. Fernando has more than justified the faith we showed in him last year, and is maturing with the team as he acquires experience at the highest level.”
