Nico Hulkenberg "disappointed" not to have been higher than 10th at the British GP
F1 News
Renault made their mark on the midfield battle at yesterday's British Grand Prix. The team managed to get both drivers finishing in the points with Nico Hulkenberg finishing 10th and Daniel Ricciardo finishing 7th. The results mean that Renault took a chunk out of McLaren's midfield lead and will gain confidence heading into the next block of races.
“It was hard work out there today and we’re disappointed not to be higher than tenth," Hulkenberg said. "The race just seemed to go away from us. Our strategy could have been smarter, I was hit at the Safety Car restart and lost a place there and then near the end, I had to go into an engine limp mode for a couple of seconds which again put me back.
"It was just one of those Sundays where all the setbacks added up and cost us. It’s positive to have both cars back in the points, but we’ll regroup and review a few things to put ourselves in a better position for the next race."
It seems that Hulkenberg thought more points should have been picked up at the race but will hope that this marks the start of Renault's resurgence.
