New chassis

Formula 1 and Renault themselves will let you know. "Due to a hairline fracture on the chassis in practice yesterday, Daniel will take a new chassis for the rest of the weekend. The team broke the curfew overnight but all is ready for practice today," the team said on Twitter.

The team received no penalty for this, as it is only the first time the team has worked after curfew. This can happen twice a season.
