Renault Sport Formula One Team's Jolyon Palmer drove in determined fashion to finish just one second shy of the points in P11.

Jolyon Palmer, #30, R.S.17-03: Started P15, finished P11.

“We finished in P11 again today, two races in a row within touching distance of points. This is very frustrating, I lost a lot at the start with the mayhem, I lost positions then got stuck behind Grosjean for about 60 laps and couldn’t get close enough to attack him. I think the pace was a bit better and if I could have started a couple of places higher, we could have gotten into the points. The race was much better again, Q2 this weekend was positive, we just need to keep working hard.”
