Bruno Senna says Renault needs to start the race weekend with a solid set-up if it is to have a chance of a competitive Korean Grand Prix.

Senna endured a tough weekend in Suzuka, with a crash during FP3 on Saturday morning setting him back ahead of qualifying. Although he recovered impressively to qualify in the top ten, he then slipped back during the race to eventually finish 16th. Senna said the problem was that the team kept having to make sweeping changes to the set-up during practice, and he challenged Renault to be at a more advanced stage by the time the cars take to the track.

"We have been very seriously discussing the need to get everything ready as soon as possible on Friday in terms of having a car that behaves properly," Senna is quoted by Autosport. "We need to chip away and find the limit instead of making massive changes." Senna also said that the different approach could put the team in a much stronger position than it was at the beginning of the Japanese Grand Prix.

"Finding the right set-up window is very important. We have been outside of the window a few times so more effort needs to put into this. This will help us to achieve much better performance from the car during the weekend. We are aiming for this and the way that we are starting this weekend is potentially much better than the way we started last weekend."
