Renault F1 Team: World Team of the Year
The Renault F1 Team took a significant honour in world sport
yesterday evening at the annual Laureus World Sports Awards.
The Renault F1 Team was last night named ‘World Team
of the Year' at the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards
in Barcelona, Spain.
Often dubbed ‘the sporting Oscars', the Laureus Awards
are a recognition of achievement from the world of sport.
The awards were voted for by a panel of 42 sporting legends,
including Pele, and motorsport legends Giacomo Agostini and
Emerson Fittipaldi.
Renault F1 Team Managing Director Flavio Briatore was present
in Barcelona to accept the award on behalf of the Renault
F1 Team:
"This is a wonderful award for the whole Renault F1
Team. Formula 1 is a world in which the fundamental role of
the team in achieving success is not always fully appreciated.
At Renault, we know that a team has a heart, and that heart
is its people. This award reflects the dedication, commitment
and ambition of the more-than 800 women and men who made last
year's world championship success possible. Congratulations
to each and every one of them."
The Renault F1 Team currently leads the 2006 FIA Formula
1 Constructors' World Championship, with a total of 78 points.
Fernando Alonso leads the Drivers' Championship with 54 points,
while team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella lies 4th in the standings.
