Bruno Senna says he is looking for an improved showing in the Korean Grand Prix after a disappointing race at Suzuka.

Senna did well to recover from a practice crash to qualify in ninth position, but a poor start and lack of downforce left him well short of the points as he finished the race in 16th place. Senna said that heading to Korea he would be looking to make sure he doesn't make any mistakes, and use the impressive qualifying performance in Japan as the catalyst for a more productive weekend.

"It is a difficult track, and I think there are many places where you can make mistakes," Senna said. There are off-camber corners scattered through the track and for a driver that's not really the most comfortable thing. However, it's the same for everybody and I'm hoping that we can use Suzuka as a baseline for when we arrive in Korea then take the car out for the first time on Friday. From then we can just chip away at the time and get on target for qualifying and the race."

Senna also said that he felt the Renault would be stronger than it was in Singapore, despite Korea having one of the lowest average speeds of a permanent track.

"There are a few big traction requirements in Korea but the type of tarmac is very smooth and the layout of the track mean that all the weaknesses we had in Singapore won't be as pronounced in Korea. We should be strong again and our car should be in the top 10 all the way to the end of the season."
