It was reported by motorsport that Perez is believed to get a new chassis and Hulk will have to wait. While it's still unclear whether there is any difference between the new and old chassis or it's just a standard practice getting a new chassis for European races.

Circuits like Suzuka will provide real Aero grip test of VJM09 but FI has taken a big step forward for sure. =D> =D>
