Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg put in yet another superb performance in Saturday afternoon qualifying for the Russian Grand Prix and put his R.S.17 int the top ten of the grid.
The German driver finished in eighth place overall and although he had hoped to be a little higher, he knows that eighth was about as good as the car could deliver.
This is his third race in a race that he has qualified inside the top ten and hopefully a straight forward race will deliver some strong very valuable points…
“I think that was the best we could do with the package we have currently, so it's been a satisfying afternoon from that point of view,” he said. “The challenge will be in the race; our pace then has been trickier so far this season so tomorrow will be the true teller of where we are in the car with our recent upgrade. We'll push, as always, and hopefully come away with some nice points.”
