Frederic Vasseur says that his work in Formula One is not complete and may return to the sport.
The Frenchman parted ways with Renault this week after he explained that the management system with Cyril Abiteboul was not effective enough.
Vasseur also admitted that he was inspired by world champion Nico Rosberg to make the call over quitting the team.
"During the break, I thought that you should not compromise and you should do what is true to your heart," said Vasseur.
"I thought of Nico, who was not driven by fame or money but by what he wanted to do, and I found that very attractive," he added.
Vasseur said his biggest achievement in 2016 was convincing Nico Hulkenberg to leave Force India in order to drive for the French works team this year and beyond.
"This was the hardest part of my decision," he said, "because I am close to Nico and I put everything into convincing him to join us.
"I think he's one of the most talented drivers of the junior series of the last ten years," Vasseur added. "There were three who won GP2 as rookies: Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Nico Hulkenberg, and I hope that the third will also be world champion."
As for his own future, Vasseur said: "Formula one may be an option, it just depends in what form. We'll see."
