Renault has confirmed Nico Hulkenberg will take a new engine for the Austrian Grand Prix. The German will use Renault's new Spec-B. McLaren has also installed this new engine inside Carlos Sainz's car. For doing this, Hulkenberg will get a five-place grid penalty.
The Renault mechanics were extra busy last night as they needed to fix a problem with the DRS on both Hulkenberg's and Daniel Ricciardo's car. The DRS flap was vibrating once it was opened.
Alex Albon, and Sainz are set to start the race at the back of the grid because they are both taking new engines which push them over the limit.
