The Renault works team finished in today's Spanish Grand Prix just shy from the points. Jolyon Palmer finished on P13 with his more experienced team-mate Kevin Magnussen finishing on P14.
Jolyon Palmer, #30, R.S.16-03: Started P17, finished P13
“I think that was probably the best race I’ve done in terms of pace and performance. The
car was feeling okay, we were battling tyre degradation a bit but it was managable. It’s
a bit disappointing not to finish in the points but for myself, I’m happy. More
performance should be coming from the upgrades we have in store so I’m looking
forward to Monaco.”
Kevin Magnussen, #20, R.S.16-02: Started P15, finished P14
“We had decent pace on the soft tyre but on the hard and the medium – especially the
medium – we were weak. It wasn’t a good day for me and I’ll be working closely with the
team to understand why we weren’t able to deliver. I’m definitely looking forward to the
test and getting some new bits on the car as today certainly wasn’t representative of
what we’re capable of achieving.”
Fred Vasseur, Racing Director
“That was a tough race for us but both our drivers pushed hard, right until the
chequered flag. Kevin struggled on the hard tyre so we switched strategy for him
whereas Jolyon was able to make the most of a two-stop strategy and gave us his best
performance to date. It was an great race for Formula 1 today. Congratulations to Max
Verstappen on his first Grand Prix victory; it is good for the sport to see Red Bull back on
the top step of the podium, especially in such an exciting manner.”
