Renault team unveils new R.S.20 livery and title sponsor

Renault unveiled in Melbourne on Wednesday the 2020 livery of its new R.S.20 as well as the French outfit's title partner, logistics company DP World.

During pre-season testing in Barcelona, Renault ran its 2020 contender in an all-black livery, but the team's car has reverted to a familiar matte black and gloss yellow scheme ahead of this weekend's Australian Grand Prix.

Based in Dubai, DP World - a world leader in trade and a leading provider of smart logistics solutions - will see its name included in the team's official appellation which becomes 'Renault DP World F1 Team' as from the 2020 season.

"We are delighted and honoured to welcome DP World to the Renault family," said Renault Sports Racing chairman, Jérôme Stoll.

"This is an extremely interesting and exciting collaboration across multiple disciplines. We look forward to working with DP World, a leading global logistics provider, to explore ways of improving our efficiency and mitigating our environmental impact.

"After the ambitions expressed by Formula One to become fully carbon neutral by 2030, we are constantly evaluating ways to reduce our carbon footprint and our turnaround time.

"We expect that working with DP World will reveal opportunities for tangible solutions to some of the logistical challenges faced by our F1 team’s supply chain and by extension, the automotive industry at a larger scale.

"We also look forward to cross-fertilising our engineering skills through shared innovation."

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
