Renault's Symonds eyes fourth place
by Essential Sports
Renault director of engineering Pat Symonds reckons that if his team put in the effort as they enter the latter part of this year's championship they could achieve a fourth place finish in the Constructors' standings.
Seven races remain this season with Renault currently sitting in fifth, just four points off Toyota and 59 behind BMW in third.Toyota emerged the strongest of the three teams in the most recent race in Hungary, but Symonds still claims the pecking order of the teams chasing Ferrari and McLaren has not changed.
"We saw that BMW had a poor weekend and Toyota had a good weekend, but I don't believe the pecking order suddenly changes," Renault's director of engineering said.
"There are certainly trends, and at the moment we have a very distinct upward trend, whereas BMW have a little bit of a downward trend and Toyota seem to fluctuate.
"So I don't think that the race itself shows a change to the status quo, but merely reinforces the trends which have been developing for a little while."
