Trying to get more points for the team - Piquet Jr.

Renault driver Nelson Piquet is moving away from another disappointment at Spa, a race where he spun off due to an error. The young Brazilian is now mainly looking to get into Q3 of qualifying and then possibly get some points for his team.

Yes, of course. I love Spa and was disappointed not to finish the Grand Prix. After a difficult qualifying session, we opted for a one-stop strategy for the race. I made a really good start, but I was very heavy on fuel and I couldn't really fight with the drivers around me, and then I made a mistake and finished in the tyre wall. It's a shame because I think I could have scored some points, especially as the end of the race was so eventful and might have played into our hands.

Yes, I've done a couple of sessions – once last year and then again three weeks ago. It's valuable to have driven in Monza recently because it gives the team an idea of the R28's behaviour in low downforce trim and also because I have some experience of driving in these conditions. I should be more comfortable on Friday when we begin free practice.

There are some circuits that I really enjoy, such as Spa and Silverstone, and although Monza is not among my favourites, it's still an unusual circuit and an interesting challenge for the drivers. It's like no other track and so it's an enjoyable race on the calendar, particularly as the atmosphere there is always very special.

To do better than in Spa – that goes without saying! Qualifying will be important and I really hope to be fast enough to reach Q3 so we can approach this race calmly, with a more straightforward strategy to hopefully fight for some points. I want to help the team finish in fourth place in the constructors' championship so it's important to finish in the points.
