Coulthard to race engine in 3 GP's

By on

According to our colleagues at 'autosport', David Coulthard's Renault powerplant will serve duty in the third consecutive GP this weekend in Hunary. This decision taken even though the regulations state that they must last at least two events.

Fabrice Lom, who is technical coordinator of the Renault engines for Red Bull Racing commented on the reason for running an extra GP, "...his V8 has not done too much running and we are not especially worried about its reliability".

In addition, this bold strategy means that David Coulthard will not have to use the same engine at Monza and Spa, which are extremely demanding engine wise.
