Franck Montagny back at the wheel of a Renault F1 car
The driver and Canal+ consultant will once again be on hand at the Paul Ricard circuit for the historic Grand Prix de France.
After returning to take the wheel in 2024 with AGS, Franck Montagny will reunite with his Renault, with which he has covered many kilometers.
This event promises a nostalgic dive into Renault’s golden age in F1, a time when the team dominated the discipline with Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella.
Indeed, between 2003 and 2005, the French driver covered no less than 40,000 km in the seat of the French single-seater. He was, therefore, a major player in the conquest of the world title in 2005.
Today a consultant for Canal+, Montagny is recognized for his incisive analyses and straightforwardness. This return behind the wheel of a historic F1 promises great emotions for him, as well as for the enthusiasts of the discipline.
Seeing the Renault R25 in action again, with a driver so familiar with its behavior, will be a real madeleine de Proust for Formula 1 fans. This event will undoubtedly stir up nostalgia among enthusiasts of the 2005 season, marked by the rapid rise of Renault and Alonso to the top of the discipline.
One thing is certain: hearing the V10 engine of the R25 roar under Montagny’s expert hands promises an unforgettable spectacle.
