Max Chilton says he’s hoping to score Marussia’s first ever point in Formula 1, but admitted to do that he must first finish the race.
The Briton holds the record for finishing every single race last year during his rookie season. Whilst he might not have finished higher than 14th that year, the reliability unknown this year might just create an opportunity to score.
“I try and bring the car home as much as possible but obviously the car’s got to bring me home as well,” he said.
“I don’t know what these numbers people are saying about the number of cars that are going to finish but you’ve just got to make sure you’re there at the end.
“We’ll do everything to make that possible and if I come across the line on Sunday in tenth place, I’ll be a very happy man.”
The 22-year-old also expects to improve during his second season of racing after a fairly unspectacular rookie season in 2013.
“In the past, I’ve always shown better in my second and third years, I’ve really started to show my speed. I think last year I showed my consistency and professionalism but not always the speed, although I got better towards the end,” he added.
