Former Formula One champion Fernando Alonso completed his laps on Tuesday morning at Circuit de Catalunya with a new engine cover. Red Bull Racing is using the type of engine cover since the start of the season and the Renault F1 team is now testing the aerodynamics of the engine cover to see if it is working for them as well.

The shark fin should improve the airflow at the back of the car, which should see the car becoming more stable on track. It is unknown if Renault will be racing with the new engine cover in two weeks time at the Spanish Grand Prix.
