Bruno Senna is targeting points at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix, but has admitted next weekend's race will be a "complete voyage into the unknown".
Senna has scored two points since his return to Formula One with Renault five races ago. At the last grand prix in Korea Senna said his weekend was "riddled with problems" after he qualified 15th and raced to 13th. However, he is confident of a return to form in India.
"India will be a complete voyage into the unknown, as no one has ever raced there before," Senna said. "We do not yet know how the car is likely to perform, though looking at the track layout it should suit us quite well, and we can expect to be up amongst the mix in the top 10; although we need to remain careful at this stage.
"From the maps I have seen, it looks to be a fast, flowing track that suits my style of driving so I am looking forward to racing there. It will be a test of who learns fastest. I think that whichever teams can extract the maximum from their cars in the short period of time that we are there will benefit most."
Senna is determined to score some more points before the end of the season and is confident that he has the potential to do so at the remaining three venues.
"Some of my best races were in Abu Dhabi and Brazil last year so there's no reason why I shouldn't enjoy similar fortunes this time around, especially because I am in a competitive car that can score points," he added. "The aim is to keep learning, keep improving, and to arrive in India with a much clearer head after the frustration of my weekend in Korea. I loved the experience of being in the points in Monza, and that's something I want to repeat. I have three races left to do that."
