Ricciardo believes Renault "seem to be close to where we’re aiming" in Canada
Renault has underperformed in 2019, but Daniel Ricciardo believes his team have moved closer to where they want to be after a positive result in Friday's practice ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Ricciardo finished in P8 in both sessions while Nico Hulkenberg danced either side of the top 10. The Australian was particularly pleased with the short runs, but there's still a small question mark surrounding the long runs.
"We seem to be close to where we’re aiming but still want a bit more. We looked at the pace of a few others and know that there is still a bit of time to be found," Ricciardo said.
"Both my long runs had quite a different balance so we’ll work out which one works better and go from there. We went through quite a few items and that was positive for us. All in all, a good day where we put in a lot of laps around a really fun race track; I like it here!”
