Renault brings modified-spec engines to Spain

Published on 06 May 2015 by Niels Hendrix

Renault will have a modified engine specification for Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso at the Spanish Grand Prix that should improve reliability and driveability.

"The three week gap has given us an opportunity to look at all the information from the start of the season", said Remi Taffin of Renault Sport. "We have been flat out to counter the issues encountered early on and we will have a modified spec of engine for this race that should give improved reliability and driveability. We are looking forward to Spain to see our hard work in action."

Taffin continued: "Barcelona is much more of a traditional circuit than the first four tracks we have visited so far this year. The layout flows a lot more, with high and medium speed corners rather than tight, slow hairpins and long straights. It also has changes of altitude as the track follows the contours of the hills. As such, the circuit represents medium difficulty for the power units, which subsequently have to deliver good all-round performance across all the parts."
