	In the mid 2000s, questions were raised regarding Renault's commitment to its Formula One team, particularly after the appointment of [[Carlos Ghosn]] as CEO in 2005. Ghosn has a reputation as a ruthless businessman, nicknamed "le cost cutter". Ghosn has time and again confirmed his belief in Formula 1, both as an advertising vehicle and a substantial technology investment. At the 2005 French Grand Prix, Ghosn set out his policy regarding the company's involvement in motorsport: "We are not in Formula One out of habit or tradition. We're here to show our talent and that we can do it properly... Formula One is a cost if you don't get the results. Formula One is an investment if you do have them and know how to exploit them." After Renault won both championships in 2006 for a second year, Ghosn said "It is an important victory because it justifies the investment Renault has made in Formula 1, and will make in the future. More and more, Formula 1 is working as an investment for us, not a loss.".<ref>{{cite news \| title = Ghosn: Titles justify investment \| url = http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=37885 \| publisher = www.itv-f1.com \| date = 2006-10-27 \| accessdate = 2006-10-30}}</ref> In May 2008, two years since Renault F1 dominated the sport, and amidst a relatively weak season for the team, Ghosn again stated that irrespectively of results, Renault would stay in F1 for 'many years'.<ref>{{cite news\|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/67847\|title=Renault to stay in F1 'for many years'\|work=autosport.com\|publisher=~~[[Haymarket Group\|~~Haymarket Publications]]\|date=2008-05-30\|accessdate=2010-10-01\|first1=Michele\|last1=Lostia\|first2=Pablo\|last2=Elizalde}}</ref> Renault have signed an agreement with Formula One Management pledging its allegiance to Formula 1 until 2012.
