Kevin Magnussen was happy to end Renault's wait for another points finish after scoring in Singapore.
The Anglo-French team hasn't scored since the Russian Grand Prix in May, but Kevin Magnussen added to his, and the team's haul with a tenth place finish on Sunday.
"I’m very happy for the whole team as this must be a boost for all of us," said the former-McLaren driver. "It’s been a very demanding season as we all want to score points at every race, but that’s not been possible."
"Nevertheless we all keep fighting and a result like today shows why we fight and why we never give up," he added. "The team nailed it with the strategy, with the start and with the balance of the car. To drive a race like this and not to win it ; it feels strange because for me it felt perfect."
Renault team principal Frederic Vasseur was equally pleased with Magnussen's result.
"A strong and measured race from Kevin with some great strategy and exceptional pit stop work meant we scored for the second time this season," said Vasseur. "We can see how everyone at Enstone and Viry, whether at the track or back at base, keeps on pushing and we will continue to do this no matter how difficult the challenge."

Just some bonus info here:
The drinking system on KMAG's car was not working!
2 hours in this hell of heat and no water.
Job so well done, Kev.
