- Renault R25
The Renault R25 was the
Formula One car entered by Renault in the 2005 season. It was designed byTim Densham and Bob Bell. The car won both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in 2005 despite being slower than theMcLaren MP4-20 at numerous points during the season, with the win tally being 8-10. Reliability and consistency prevailed in the end, withFernando Alonso andGiancarlo Fisichella taking the car to the last win and titles for a V10 powered Formula one car, marking the end of an era.This car also claimedMichelin 's first (and also second-to-last) title since its return in Formula One, winning the title again with Renault (the R26 2006-spec car) in the 2006 season, the last for the French tire maker.Over 19 races, it scored 191 points, 8 wins, 15 podiums and was fully out of the points only once in 18 starts (not counting the United States Grand Prix where both Renault drivers, in common with all their fellow
Michelin tyre runners, withdrew prior to starting).Complete Formula One results
