Jolyon Palmer has vowed to be a more complete driver next season and do a better job if Renault choose to retain him.
Palmer was brought into the team for the 2016 season, replacing Romain Grosjean, but only enjoyed his first point of the season last weekend at the Malaysia Grand Prix.
The futures of him and team mate Kevin Magnussen remain in doubt, but Palmer is keen to stay .
"The main thing for me is to be judged compared to Kevin because he's in the same car," he said. "Early on I'd say he had the upper hand, it's fair to say, but after the first third of the season we've been very, very close.
"I want to be with Renault [in 2017] and I know that if I am we'll have a more competitive car. I've learned a lot this year, it's been tough. But I think I'm driving not too bad overall, maybe with a few too many mistakes, but I'm a rookie and I think that's to be expected over the course of a 21-race year.
"Next year, if I come back, no doubt I will be more complete because I will have learned from the mistakes that I've made."
