Renault happy with second double points finish on the bounce

Renault team boss Cyril Abiteboul left the Circuit of the Americas in a good mood after his Renault team secured their second double points finish in a row. Daniel Ricciardo drove superbly to P6, whilst Nico Hulkenberg earned P9.

However, the fightback may have come a little too late as McLaren are 38 points ahead in the constructors' standings with just two races left to go.

Abiteboul said following the weekend: "We have to first acknowledge it was once again a great race in our pack with very open and exciting strategic options for all. I think our drivers, and the team, enjoyed the race.
