Robert Kubica was very happy with Renault’s F-duct upgrade and finished on the podium for the third time this year.

Without minor problems in qualifying and the race this was a Grand Prix Renault could have won.

Team mate Vitaly Petrov joined him in the points despite a costly crash in qualifying that left him on the back row. more…
