Kevin Magnussen says the drivability of the B-spec Renault power unit was immediately better and he would like to use the update in Monaco.
Renault is testing its updated power unit over the two days of in-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with it also featuring in the Red Bull. Max Verstappen was quickest on Wednesday morning with Magnussen fourth and after completing 53 laps with the B-spec he says there was an immediate noticeable improvement.
“To be honest the engine feels nice to drive and te drivability is actually better than with the old engine,” Magnussen said. “Yeah there’s more power, but from the driving point of view it’s difficult to feel how fast you’re going on the straight.
“Whether you’re going 330kph or 333kph is difficult to feel, but the engineers will have it on the data and they will tell us later
