Here we are in 2007, and a new era is about to begin. The Renault F1 Team will have to face many new factors. After thirteen years as a title sponsor, first for Benetton and then for the Renault F1 Team, Mild Seven leaves F1 after winning seven F1 world titles.

Mild Seven leaves Renault F1 Team, which means the team's famous blue is leaving with them. 

ING Group will now be Renault's title sponsor bringing their name, logo, and colors to the whole team and the R27.

Along with its new image, the ING Renault F1 Team will be proud to have a new driver, Heikki Kovalainen. The R27 will be racing with Bridgestones tires for the first time as Michelins also have departed from Formula One.

The team’s next appearance will be in Jerez for testing on the 16th January 2007 before its official launch presentation in the Dutch capital Amsterdam on 24 January 2007

The ING Group will also be hosting the opening race of the season, the ING Australian Grand Prix on the 18th March 2007.
