On Monday Virgin Racing confirmed reports that the plans to debut two heavily modified cars in Barcelona this weekend has be affected.
With FIA clearance, Virgin has been busily designing a new chassis to accommodate a fuel tank big enough to take its cars to the end of races.
Because the sport's freight was held up for several days in China, the new British team only had a single VR-01 monocoque to work on at its UK factory.
In a statement on Monday, Virgin said it would have needed the "three full weeks of manufacture, homologation and race preparation" to get two modified cars up and running for both Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi in Spain.
"As a consequence, Virgin Racing will debut only one revised chassis in the Spanish grand prix this weekend, which Timo Glock will put through its paces," read the statement.
