Renault will bring a number of upgrades to the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend. The RS17 has been in the points four times out of the seven Grands Prix so far, and they upgrades come in a bid to claim even more.
The team currently sit seventh in the standings, with Nico Hulkenberg the only driver to have scored points. In Baku, the team will run with a change up the suspension in free practice to alter the handling of the car, explained by technical director Nick Chester.
"We have got a few updates, including bodywork," Chester pointed out. "We have some things to try on suspension to improve the handling and also an update to the cooling system to improve the performance a little bit. What we learned from Canada will be useful for Baku especially in terms of hard braking.
"It was a pretty tricky place last year on the circuit’s Formula 1 debut. It has a bit of a Monaco styled section but with some long straights down the back. It is a bit bumpy and a very difficult place for both set-up and driving. We will need good braking stability as it is hard braking with hard and tight corner entries. It has a tricky mix and we probably need three different cars; one for each section!"
