Renault Plan Further Improvements

With the team introducing the D-spec version of their RS25 engine in Brazil this weekend, the team have confirmed that plans are still on course for an E-specification to be drafted in for the final race of the year in Shanghai.

The developments come on the back of the introduction of a new aerodynamic package in Interlagos - which was only fitted to the cars overnight on Thursday after arriving at the last minute.

Technical director Bob Bell, who had to bring some of the parts in his hand luggage, said: "The R25's new aero package is something that makes me very proud of our team

"We want to carry on fighting to win the two world titles, and to do so, everybody is working with total commitment.

"The developments for Sao Paulo were produced twice as fast as normal: from wind tunnel testing, to production, to testing in Silverstone, we beat our own records for production speed. That speaks volumes for how hard everybody is working."

Although Fernando Alonso has a 25-point advantage in the Drivers' Championship, Renault are only six points clear of McLaren in the constructors' battle.
