Renault furloughs 'vast majority' of F1 team until May

Renault have furloughed most of their British-based Formula One race team until the end of May due to the coronavirus pandemic, the French carmaker announced on Friday.

Three other British-based teams -- McLaren, Williams and Racing Point -- have already announced they are furloughing staff with drivers also taking pay cuts. Renault are the first manufacturer-owned team to do so.
