Jolyon Palmer is confident that Renault's upcoming upgrades will give them the edge over Haas in Formula One's competitive midfield battle.
Renault has so far struggled against the newcomers, managing just one points finish, courtesy of Palmer's team mate Kevin Magnussen, but Palmer believes they are not too far way.

"I think the ones we need to catch first are Haas," he said. "They’re the ones just making Q2 and we’re just behind them."
"If we can catch Haas, then that’s Q2, hopefully we’ve got more upgrades than they have for the rest of the year and we can do that. Then maybe Toro Rosso are falling away a bit from the group in front, they’ve got the old engine as well, so maybe we have a chance to catch them."
Looking ahead, Palmer said that the upcoming track s will also favour Renault.
"The tracks [in the second half of the year] can hopefully suit us a little bit better, I’m improving all the time as a driver, so I hope for some points. It would be nice to have some more meaningful battles on track, because a lot of the time we’re fighting a Manor or a Sauber, and no-one sees that."
