Nicolas Prost: 'It's been a dream weekend. The pace in the last few races has been very strong so we knew that we would be the team to beat this weekend, but you never take anything for granted. We've had a fantastic weekend, with two wins, so you can't get much better than this. Yesterday was important as I have had a very difficult season, but bounced back gradually and found the winning form right at the end. I'm so pleased to have secured third in the championship, delighted for Séb and of course very proud of this phenomenal team.' Alain Prost, senior team manager, Renault e.dams:'I am extremely proud of the team today. Formula E is one of the most competitive environments I have ever experienced, and to win two titles today is an extraordinary achievement. We were fighting against top teams and drivers and never took it as a given that we could win. We have worked hard all year to put together the best car possible and Renault did a fantastic job with the powertrain. Two titles in two years is a fantastic tribute to everyone who has given their time and effort to the team.' Jean-Paul Driot, senior team manager, Renault e.dams:'It is difficult to express emotions as you experience in these moments. You hope and you dream of these things, but when they actually happen you find it hard to get the right words. I am proud of each and every team member for contributing to these victories. We have built a professional and capable team that has risen to the challenge in the toughest of environments. We are proud of the team and our partnership with Renault. We have not made things easy for ourselves, and today was particularly tough, but we came through in the end and can enjoy these times now!' Jérôme Stoll, President of Renault Sport Racing:'We are absolutely delighted with the titles today. The Formula E championship is an ideal platform for Renault to demonstrate the innovation and quality of its electric vehicle technology. The opening of the technical regulations in season two was a perfect opportunity for the teams at Renault Sport and our motorsport engine operations and the Technocentre, the nerve centre of road car design, to put their advanced skills and understanding of EV technology to the test. The robustness and speed of the package they put together was quickly acknowledged as the best in the field, and I am extremely pleased that we now have the titles to say so officially! Congratulations to the team and to Sébastien. We look forward to the developments we have seen on track this year being put to good use by our road car users in the latest generation of ZE vehicles.'
