Renault is bringing an updated power unit to the next two rounds of the Formula One season with the aim of assessing progress against its rivals at two of the calendar's most power-sensitive circuits.
The French manufacturer is still a clear third in the battle of F1's engine builders, lagging behind Ferrari and Mercedes but comfortably ahead of Honda. Earlier this year, Renault made clear it would not bring a single major engine update akin to its impressive step at Monaco last year, but engine technical director Remi Taffin is looking forward to seeing how his team's power unit stacks up against its rivals at F1's ultimate power circuit, Monza.
