Hulkenberg hopes to build on Renault progress in Monaco

Nico Hulkenberg says he is optimistic about Renault's chances at next weekend's Monaco Grand Prix as he targets extending his run of points finishes in the 2017 Formula One season.

The German has taken points in the last three races, including his best result of the year -- and Renault's best finish since returning to the sport as a full works team in 2016 -- with sixth place at the Spanish Grand Prix. Hulkenberg has scored all 14 of Renault's points so far in 2017, six more than the total achieved throughout the whole of last season.

"The track should suit us, especially with the super-soft and ultra-soft tyres," Hulkenberg said.
