Jaguar used an updated R5B chassis for two races. Klien gave the B spec chassis its debut in China and Webber used it in Brazil. The R5B had originally been taken to the Italian Grand Prix but was not used. Webber drove the R5B in Japan during Friday practice, but due to the lack of running have to revert to the old car for the race.
