Nico Hulkenberg secured his best finish to date with his Renault team and the Hulk says they deserved P5.
Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg finished fifth in his home race and celebrated his best finish since being with the French outfit.
Hulkenberg finished 'best of the rest' behind the three big teams, although the German was 26 points off of the lead.
Renault's place in fourth was solidified a bit more with yesterday's result and Hulkenberg feels as if his team deserve this due to all of the hard work they have been putting in to improve their R.S.18.
"I'm very happy with that," Hulkenberg told The Checkered Flag.

"The first part of the race wasn't so exciting, but it was unfolding nicely towards the end, then the rain hit us.
"It was tricky out there trying to keep it on the road, but I enjoy those conditions and started to make some gains. It's good points for the team, our joint best finish of the season and my best finish with Renault.
"More crazy conditions would have been nice, but we'll take that. We made the right decisions and that's why we deserve fifth today. We've been working hard for it, so it's a nice reward for the team. We did a good job today."
