Jolyon Palmer is hoping that Renault make the biggest leap forward on the grid next season.
As Formula One undergoes a regulation change, many experts are calling it a blank canvas situation, in where anyone has potential to produce the fastest car, much like we saw for the regulation change of 2009.
Renault struggled in 2016, only bringing home eight points. Palmer, who will partner Nico Hulkenberg next year hopes that Renault will give him a much more competitive car.
"I think we'll make a good step," said Palmer, on Renault's second season.
"[In 2016], we knew the start of the year was going to be tough, but to be honest we did better than I expected, especially as the year went on, and we got the most out of it.
"I think our focus for a long time was on the 2017 car already, while we've got good investment in the team, and we've still got great people in the team to do a good job.
"Hopefully we'll be the team that makes the biggest step."
Palmer says that he feel happy with his 2016 season and feels he learned a lot .
"I feel like I've improved a lot since day one in Formula One," he added.
"Melbourne was a good race for me, but early on... I think through the year I improved, but I was making some mistakes, and as the year went on I think I cut out the mistakes a lot.
"Every qualifying (aside from Mexico, as a result of chassis damage) I was in Q2 since Malaysia, and I generally did a good, clean race – I think the improvement is pretty clear.
"[For 2017] I need to improve anything that I can improve, really.
"It depends, from time to time. I don't think there's anything specifically that's weak, but I'll have a look and see what I can improve – there's definitely still room to improve."
