Daniel Ricciardo has good times with his team Renault. The Australian is chasing a podium place and came very close to it in the previous Grand Prix at Mugello. In the end, he didn't get a podium, but he drove up to fourth place twice already.

This weekend Ricciardo wants to show it in Socchi. The smiling driver is working on a strong series and of course he wants to continue this: "We want to continue the strong run and score well this weekend. We’re in a really tight midfield fight with a number of teams with one or two tenths either way the difference between the second row of the grid or ending outside the top ten. That challenge is exciting, it means we have to find everything from within the car and make it work". Ricciardo said in a previeuw of Renault.

Ocon looks forward to the track

Team mate Esetban Ocon is looking forward to the track in Sochi: "It's a really cool track that I have good memories of in 2017 and 2018". Years in which the Frenchman grabbed points for his team, then the current Racing point.

In Russia, the stands will be partly filled again and the Frenchman will love that: "There will be some fans again so I'm looking forward to the atmosphere". Ocon will have to work because the Frenchman is still behind teammate Ricciardo, especially on Saturday.
