“I would like to offer our full congratulations to Oscar for his superb title success,” said Abiteboul.
“I am very proud of the Renault Sport Academy and the choices made to recruit and nurture young talent through the ranks. This latest title brings even more credibility to the programme as a whole.”

Mia Sharizman, Director of the Renault Sport Academy, also shared congratulations.
“I am delighted for Oscar today. To have taken back-to-back championship wins in F3 and Eurocup, two hugely competitive series, shows his pedigree and his maturity.”

“He has been the most consistent driver in the field this year and a hugely level-headed driver. These qualities will stand him well for the senior championships.”
“It’s been tough for him not having parents in Europe for the whole year and he has put his trust entirely in us and his management. For the RSA it shows that the programme is strong. Let’s enjoy this.”
