Renault sets sights on Mercedes

The French car manufacturer has made impressive progress with its R30 this season, having elected to take an aggressive development push with the car at every race.

And with yet another new front wing having helped it outqualify both Ferraris in Turkey last weekend, Boullier now reckons that more updates scheduled for Canada and the next few races can lift it past Mercedes GP too.

"I am eagerly looking for the next steps," Boullier told AUTOSPORT. "We have some steps for Canada, but we have to remember the track is a different in terms of the downforce level.

"However, for Valencia and Silverstone we will keep the development rate up. We can now go faster than Mercedes GP in qualifying, and that is the goal."

Renault is currently fifth in the Constructors' Championship after the Turkish Grand Prix, with Robert Kubica sixth in the drivers' standings having taken two podium finishes.
