It’s a prestige position. We had the same discussions about the Ferrari TP position. Seemingly no one wanted internal Ferrari politics, but we were proven the opposite.
Judging from the whole picture: What other team has the infrastructure and logistics already built up to success? Renault doesn’t want to spend anything on motorsports, but everything is already there - even an engine department.
Compared to Aston or other teams, you don’t need to look for investors at Renault/Alpine, which makes it more attractive in the long run.
Minus the internal French politics, it looks like a perfect opportunity.
