Renault confirm Magnussen, reveal 2016 car

Renault have confirmed that Kevin Magnussen will help spearhead their return to Formula One racing as a full works team in 2016, as well as revealing their new car for the forthcoming season.

Magnussen, who replaces the outgoing Pastor Maldonado, will race alongside Jolyon Palmer at the renamed Renault Sport F1 Team, with GP3 racewinner Esteban Ocon joining as test and reserve driver.

In a ceremony streamed live from Renault's factory in Guyancourt, the French manufacturer also revealed their 2016 challenger, the RS16, which will feature a predominantly black livery.

Renault's 2016 team launch to be streamed live

Renault will offer a live online stream of their 2016 Formula One team launch event, which will be held at the French manufacturer's Technocentre in Guyancourt on Wednesday, February 3.

Having completed their takeover of the Lotus team late last year, Renault are set to make several revelations during the event - including a new identity, team personnel and livery, the latter of which they teased on social media (main image) on Tuesday.

Kevin Magnussen is also expected to be unveiled as Jolyon Palmer's team mate for the forthcoming 2016 FIA Formula One World Championship, after Pastor Maldonado - who had originally been set to drive - announced his departure from the Enstone squad yesterday.

If confirmed, Magnussen's F1 return will come four months after he lost his role as McLaren reserve. The Dane made his debut with the team in 2015, scoring a podium in his opening race in Australia, but was then shuffled to a reserve role due to the arrival of two-time world champion Fernando Alonso.

The event, which begins at 1315 CET (1215 GMT) will be streamed live via the Renault Sport website.

Paffett joins Williams as simulator driver

Former McLaren test and reserve driver Gary Paffett has been appointed as Williams’ simulator driver for 2016.

In his new role Paffett, 34, will assist the squad’s vehicle science department in developing the Mercedes-powered FW38 at their factory in Grove throughout the year.

“I am really pleased to be joining the Williams team as the simulator driver to aid in the development of this year’s car,” said the Englishman, who took part in 72 official Formula One test days between 2001 and 2013, completing 4,971 laps and clocking up 22,745 km.

“The team has such a great pedigree and history in Formula One. I look forward to supporting the team over this year in my new role.”

Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal, added, “We’re delighted to have someone with Gary’s experience join us at Williams. He is a highly professional racing driver and his level of testing knowledge, and ability to analyse data, will significantly help to drive forward development of the FW38 throughout the season.”

Alongside his Formula One test commitments, Paffett has raced in the German DTM series with Mercedes since 2003, winning the title in 2005. He left McLaren, where he conducted extensive simulator work, at the end of 2014.

Williams, who have finished third in the constructors’ championship for the last two seasons, lost former test driver Susie Wolff to retirement at the end of 2015.

Maldonado confirms Lotus departure

Pastor Maldonado has revealed that he has left the Lotus team ahead of the 2016 FIA Formula One World Championship.

The Venezuelan had been due to continue with the team, but will now be absent when they reveal their new Renault identity later this week - with former McLaren racer Kevin Magnussen widely tipped as his replacement.

Maldonado came into Formula One racing in 2011 as the reigning GP2 champion and scored his sole victory with Williams in Spain the following season, before moving to Lotus for 2014.

In a statement posted via Twitter, Maldonado commented: "Today with the biggest humility I inform you that I won't be on the grid at the start of the 2016 season. Thanks for all the messages of support, passion and concerns about my future.

"I'm very thankful to God, my family, my sponsors, my friends, my fans and everybody who has helped me materialise this dream of having represented Venezuela in the pinnacle of motorsport. See you soon!"

With Magnussen expected to be confirmed as Jolyon Palmer’s Renault team mate on Wednesday, Marussia are now Maldonado’s only chance of landing a 2016 drive, with all other teams having confirmed their race line-ups.

Lewis Hamilton | British Formula One racing driver | Know more about him

Another video about Lewis Hamilton. Some of you have asked me if I'm a Hamilton fan but I am not. I think he is a superb driver but don't really have a favorite driver at the moment. The videos I have posted about him are mainly because I find him very interesting as he is our champion at the moment. I have seen him a few times on track and also twice outside of the car. He is a legend in the making even though he is not my favorite driver. Watch this video if you find this man as interesting as I do.
