Daniel Ricciardo "won’t give up" on battle with McLaren

Daniel Ricciardo is hoping to come away from the Japanese Grand Prix with points after failing to score any at the previous two races. Renault have improved since the summer break and will hope to have something to show for this improvement come to the end of the weekend. 

"Leaving without points from the last two races is disappointing and probably not what we deserve," Ricciardo said. "We have been looking quick and should have scored much more than we did.

"We can’t reflect too much on it, all we can do is focus on Japan and ensuring we do a good job there. It’s important we come away with something to keep in the race for fourth. We know it’s going to be tough, but we won’t give up." 

McLaren have been very fast this season but Renault have not given up on the battle and have five races to try and catch them up.
