Eric Boullier has been confirmed as Renault's new team principal this afternoon. Has the date been chosen to coincide with the Briatore verdict from the French courts?
It's understandable why Boullier has got the job: Aside from the fact that he comes directly from shareholder Gerard Lopez's Gravity Sports Management company and that he's been a successful manager and engineer in the sub-F1 categories, he is a modest, approachable and low profile individual - I think that's crucial. He's an engineer, not a showman.
He is also French. And after Renault's embarrassment after Crashgate, the message the company is sending out is that only a Frenchman can be trusted to steer this ship.
They wanted the anti-Briatore. And I very much doubt Boullier owns any monogrammed slippers.
Boullier says he's proud to join Renault, and build towards a title chase in 2011. "The real target for us is to build for 2011 and a championship campaign. But we have realistic expectations for 2010.
"We are not going to produce a car that catapults us to the front because F1 is very competitive. But our 2010 expectations are to run towards the front and challenge for the top three."
