Renault will introduce its own version of the F-duct innovation in time for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, according to reports.
Team boss Eric Boullier hinted in July that it was 'very likely' the F-duct would be on the car for Belgium. And Italy's Autosprint and Britain's Autosport publications also reported that the device would indeed be seen on the Renault cars for the first time at the demanding Spa-Francorchamps circuit, where reducing the drag of the rear wing on the long straights will provide a distinct advantage.
Renault currently lies fifth in the constructors' standings and a series of strong finishes may enable them to challenge Mercedes for fourth, although the team is still 26 points behind their German rivals.
