Daniel Ricciardo, current face of Renault at Formula 1 tracks, made it to double points this season at Canada Grand Prix.
Aussie believes that his team has just started to show their true potential with their RS19.
Ricciardo was charismatic with his new team at Montreal, where his performance in P4 was very impressive. He also managed to find a slot in top ten, with sixth position on hand.
Nico Hulkenberg, Ricciardo’s team mate at Renault, finished behind at seventh position. The Canadian success steered the team to fifth place in the Constructors’ championship.
“It was great to see the positivity on everyone’s faces after the race,” said Ricciardo.
“We entered the season with a lot of expectation on us and I think we’re really starting to come up and show our true pace.
“I’m glad the team enjoyed a strong weekend as it’s been stressful at times, but we kept working and now I’m optimistic this is the start of heading on the right path.
“There’s clearly a lot more work to do to catch up to our expectations, but fighting with the front three for a part of the Canada race was a lot of fun.”
The team will perform again this coming weekend at French Grand Prix.
The team is ambitious and will be targeting to beat their last year standing. Last year,the team had targeted to finish with score at French GP which they managed.
Ricciardo added: “I’m really looking forward to embracing the French atmosphere and hopefully doing the team proud.
“I know it’s a significant race for them and how much it means to everyone involved.
“The target for has to be repeating the form of Canada. The team had good pace at Paul Ricard last year, so there’s certainly a good feeling there.
“We have some upgrades, which should mean the start of a trend of our true pace.
“It’s coming along well and, as the car gets better, I’m also growing in confidence and I’ll keep getting better with it.”
