Renault to be more aggressive in Shanghai

After two wins in the last two races, Renault engineering director Pat Symonds says his team now has the confidence to be more aggressive in its approach to the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend and challenge for another win.

"We won't approach the race particularly differently, although I think we now have the self-confidence and belief that we can finish on the podium and challenge for the win," Symonds said. "That means that we might take a more aggressive attitude than we might otherwise have done, but we will remain mindful of the need to maintain our points advantage over Toyota."

"It's not mission accomplished until the checkered flag falls in Brazil and we will continue to push and assume that we can still be overhauled," he added. "In Formula 1 you should never rest on your laurels and we will keep that in mind when we determine our strategies and approach to the final couple of races."
