Daniel Ricciardo is targetting a strong points finish after reaching Q3 in yesterday's qualifying session. The Aussie has a three-place grid penalty for installing a new engine and will start the race in 13th. However, he is optimistic that the car is performing well and hopes to get some points in the race.
“We did a pretty good job to get into Q3 today. That was the target and I certainly felt after yesterday we had the potential to achieve that,” Ricciardo said to The New Daily.
“We probably could have been slightly higher in the order for Q3, but I lost the rear out of Turn 13 on the second run and lost some time.
“That stopped it from being a really good session, but, in any case, it was a strong effort today.
"We have the penalty to add, but we’ll get our heads down in the race and look for points.”

Renault will hope that the new upgrades help their reliability and that they can score some vital points at the Spanish Grand Prix.
