Renault chief Cyril Abiteboul believes Renault’s luck can change in Canada. The team have endured a difficult season so far, currently sitting 7th in the championship table with 14 points, the same number as their main competitors Haas. Last time out in Monaco, Haas finished in the points with both their drivers while Renault’s Nico Hulkenberg had an engine failure and Jolyon Palmer failed to reach the top 10.
"Canada is all about bouncing back and making a fresh start," Abiteboul said. "We now have a more robust engine and gearbox and we can fully focus on maximising performance. The team in Enstone are heading to the race with an aerodynamic package adapted to the Montréal circuit.
"However due to the challenges of the track, we certainly don’t expect an easy race. The effort going in across both bases in England and Viry is driving us forward and it is vital that we maintain this hard work, as we set our sights on being at least sixth place in the Constructors’ standings before the summer break. That should enable us to defend our position and reset our targets towards finishing the second-half of the season in fifth."
Williams is sixth with a margin of 6 points whereas Renault’s target of fifth is occupied by Toro Rosso who posses over double Renault’s points - 29. However, if their car really does live up to expectations and the drivers can push for points that fifth place may come closer to their reach.
