I think there is a limit of 2 MGU-Ks per year.adrianjordan wrote: ↑30 May 2018, 12:00Weren't they all expecting a new PU in Montreal anyway? I thought Renault were bringing their upgraded units to that race??
Also I get confused. Couldn't he swap it anyway, but would have to take a penalty later in the season if he went over his allocation for the whole season? Ie: He'd only have to take a penalty when he takes his 4th MGU-K...

MGU-K is 3 for the year...
Each driver is permitted to use only three ICE, MGU-H and TC, and only two ES, CE and MGU-K during a championship season and any combination of them may be fitted to a car at any one time. Should a driver use more than that during the course of a season, a grid penalty will be imposed.

according to Abiteboul Renault will give you half a second from the PU in race trim soon which will make RBR unlock performance from the chassis as well , if this to happen its very possible for RBR to get the 2018 title
i wonder if we can question the reliability of this information source though...
that mean not before another 8 races for Renault to introduce a nother upgrade...Renault:
"It's a small gain in power, although we know we won't be the only one [bringing an engine upgrade].
Well that's the problem with only having 3 PU per season.loner wrote: ↑31 May 2018, 16:31for Canadaloner wrote: ↑20 Apr 2018, 21:45congratulations MASSIVE jump coming...

it does .. if the Canada upgrade was more powerful it would help 3 teams to perform better , you won't be worry aboutadrianjordan wrote: ↑01 Jun 2018, 00:25Doesn't matter what their R&D is like. You can only introduce so many updates in a season with limited PU usage. RBR are potentially in the run for WDC at present, so they're not going to start taking additional penalties for PU changes when they don't have to.
