Petrov eyes points despite slow start

Vitaly Petrov has not given up hope of a points finish in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix despite Renault's weakness in slow corners. The Russian ended Friday practice 13th fastest, 2.361s off the pace, and spent much of practice evaluating new ideas, including a new steering column, for use next season. He is hopeful of being within striking distance of the top 10 despite what he admitted was "not a great" day of practice.
