F1 | Renault, satisfaction for Ricciardo: "The team worked hard tonight"

Positive Saturday for Renault, which in the last qualifying of the season placed eighth and tenth with Ricciardo and Hulkenberg. The two yellow drivers will start one position ahead due to the penalty given to Bottas, and are satisfied with what they have achieved in Abu Dhabi so far. The race for fifth place in the world title is still open, and above all the German will want to say goodbye to the Formula 1 Circus with a good performance.

“I'm really happy with today's qualifying – Ricciardo admitted. It's great to have both cars in Q3, there's been a turnaround since Friday and that's what I'm really proud of. The leap in quality made is encouraging and the credit goes to the team who worked hard throughout the night. We're there in the mix among the top ten: there will be a good tussle to fight for fifth place in the world."

“We ranked tenth, I'm happy with the laps in all three qualifying sessions – Hulkenberg said. At the beginning it was a bit complicated, I was looking for the right feeling with the car. We were a little behind yesterday, but we recovered and regained our performance between last night and today. It's good for the team, with both cars in Q3! I think it will be fun tomorrow, we're in the running for fifth place in the world championship and there's everything to play for."
