Renault R25

Fernando Alonso driving for Renault F1 at Indianapolis in 2005

The Renault R25 was the Formula One car entered by Renault in the 2005 season, winning both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in 2005 despite being slower than the McLaren MP4/20 at numerous points during the season, with the win tally being 8-10. Reliability and consistency prevailed in the end, with Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella taking the car to the last win and titles for a V10 powered Formula one car, marking the end of an era. This car also claimed Michelin's first (and also second-to-last) title since its return in Formula One, winning the title again with Renault (the R26 2006-spec car) in the 2006 season, the last for the French tire maker.

Over 19 races, it scored 191 points, 8 wins, 15 podiums and was fully out of the points only twice in 18 starts.
