For Ricciardo, the update represents his fifth ICE and Hulkenberg, his sixth.
UPDATE 🛠
We will be using a new ICE on both cars today. It’s a spec C, with minor upgrades to reliability and performance. Introducing it here will incur a 5-place penalty for both drivers for Sunday’s race.#RSspirit #BelgianGP— Renault F1 Team (@RenaultF1Team) August 30, 2019
There is no word on whether or not McLaren, Renault’s engine customer, will also take updates.
Practice 1 at Spa-Francorchamps starts at 1900 AEST.
