Piquet determined to score at Spa
02 September 2008After a difficult weekend in Valencia, Nelson Piquet is looking ahead to this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix as an opportunity to lift his Renault team. The young Brazilian knows that with the driver market looking uncertain, he needs strong results to confirm his drive for next year.
Looking back at Valencia, Piquet said, "The organisers did a great job of producing a really interesting circuit and I particularly enjoyed the final sector. There was also a really welcoming atmosphere for the whole weekend - it's just a shame to come away without any points. I knew after qualifying that scoring points would not be easy and that I would have to rely on incidents in the race to move up, but in the end it was quite a straightforward race. Plus, the fact that my front wing was broken didn't help. So it's a race to put behind us and I am now concentrating on the Belgian Grand Prix and the other races ahead of us."
"I think that Valencia did not reflect our true performance," he added. "As we have shown in the last few races, we are capable of scoring points and this is what we must keep in mind so that we can remain focussed as we approach this race. My objective will be to reach Q3 in qualifying and hope for a good start in the race to try and finish in the points. I have to admit that I would prefer a dry race, but in Belgium you never know!"
