Renault to present new upgrade this weekend

That's right... this weekend! Formula One is finally back this weekend after what feels like an eternity without the sport!

Renault's chassis technical director, Nick Chester has confirmed that his team will present a new floor upgrade at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend.

The French manufacturer currently occupy fourth position with Haas breathing down its neck in fifth place.

Chester believes that the Spa track is one that mainly relies on the power of the engine and he also thinks that the weather is going to play a huge part in Belgium.

"Spa is a very interesting track," Chester told The Checkered Flag. "It's power sensitive, especially nowadays with corners like Eau Rouge and Pouhon taken flat or close to flat out.

"Spa has always been a power sensitive track, but that has increased in recent years, with around twenty seconds of full throttle between La Source and Les Combes.

"The weather can play a huge role too and you can have anything from being hot and dry to heavy rain. There are good overtaking opportunities into Les Combes after the Kemmel Straight, if you get a good grag up the hill and also into the bus-stop chicane."

Chester revealed that Renault will be introducing new upgrades to its R.S.18 in Belgium.

"We should have a new floor for Spa and some other bodywork parts to go with that, which should be helpful."
