Renault has decided to change Nico Hulkenberg's power unit ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. This is a free penalty as the German was already starting from the pitlane following a front wing spec change overnight.

Both Renault drivers will be taking penalties ahead of the race. Daniel Ricciardo has been dropped three places after his reversing incident in Baku.

Renault take a strategic engine penalty with Hulkenberg as well now. It doesn’t cost them as they’re already at the back with the wing penalty and now they have another engine in the usable pool
