Under White's leadership, Renault also won world titles as an engine supplier in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Together with Red Bull Racing, Renault won four consecutive world titles with Sebastian Vettel. However, in June 2024, White, like many others at Renault, was sacked for disappointing results.
