Jolyon Palmer hopes Renault can make progress with the suspension it tried in Monaco as the team gives it a second run at this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
Renault originally introduced the revised suspension for the Monte Carlo race in May, but both drivers complained that the changes had actually made the car feel worse. The feedback prompted the Enstone-based outfit to remove the suspension for the following races in Canada, Azerbiajan, Austria and Great Britain.
After working with it again during last week's two-day test at Silverstone, Renault has opted to try out the suspension on the car once more during tomorrow's practice at the Hungaroring.
"We've shifted back to what we tried in Monaco," said Palmer. "We were doing a lot of back-to-backs with that and we're going to run with it again for [Friday practice].
"I think it can work but we tried it in Monaco and didn't like it so much there. At Silverstone last week it felt like there was a small gain there so we'll try it again on a non-street circuit."
While Palmer admitted that the Silverstone test is unlikely to make significant performance gains this weekend, he remains hopeful that it will have a positive impact at future races this year.
"I think it was reasonably productive. We didn't unlock a huge amount on the car that is going to show this weekend, hopefully in a few races time we can find something. I think overall it was a good test."
The Briton believes that the Hungarian Grand Prix could provide Renault with one of its best opportunities to record a strong result in 2016.
"I think this could be a good opportunity for us to be honest. The best one for a number of races, really. We never really know until we drive the car on Friday and see where we are at, but we're all quite positive at having a good chance."
