Renault enjoyed their most successful season last year, winning both the constructors' and drivers' crowns.

Speculation about Renault's future has increased in recent weeks, with claims surfacing that they would bow out of F1 at the end of this season.

Both Ghosn and team boss Flavio Briatore have rejected the rumours, although Renault have suffered a number of setbacks.

Fernando Alonso, who became the youngest-ever F1 champion at 24 in 2005, has signed to join rivals McLaren in 2007, claiming his defection was not down to money but to confusion over Renault's future plans.

And the loss of key sponsor Mild Seven, a cigarette company, at the end of the year has also contributed to speculation about the team's ability to continue competing.
