Renault to give Trulli new car

Renault will allocate Jarno Trulli a new chassis as the team work to solve a mysterious handling problem in Grand Prix. At Spa, the pole sitting Italian lost the pace after the first pit stop and it 'wasn't the tyres,' engineer Pat Symonds said.

"We just don't know," Renault's man told Autosport. "Michelin did a good job and Kimi obviously won."

Pat said the data has offered no clue into the problem, which Jarno said he's had since he confirmed he was leaving for '05. Symonds revealed Renault was planning to introduce two new R24 in China, anyway, 'so I think we'll give him a new one for Monza.'
