Piquet desperate for better qualifying
24 September 2008With his future at Renault yet to be confirmed, Nelson Piquet Jr heads to the Singapore Grand Prix hoping to cash in on a level playing field and get back into the points, but key to that is improving his performance in qualifying.
"I have had to learn lots of circuits this year so it's not something that worries me, and like Valencia the track in Singapore will be a new challenge for all the drivers and won't be such a disadvantage for a rookie," Piquet said. "I'm not worried about driving at night as I know that the organisers have made great efforts to ensure the level of visibility will be as good as if we were racing in the day. So I'm really eager to see what it's like when we get there and see Singapore in race configuration."
"Considering that we haven't driven the track, it's difficult for me to say if it's a track that is likely to suit me," he added. "So to say what I can aim for is difficult. However, I certainly want to have a better qualifying session because I know this is essential for having a successful Grand Prix, especially on a street circuit."
