Virgin Racing are now fully focused on trying to claim some positions back in the constructors championship in the final three races of the season.

The British team were running in the top three at the beginning of the season, but due to a recent run of poor performances the team have slipped down to fifth in the teams championship.

If the team are able to find some performance in the final three rounds then there is still a chance that they could finish in second as they are only 18 points behind Dragon Racing who occupy second place.

British driver Sam Bird knows that every point is vital going into the closing stages of the season and he understands that himself and his teammate Jamie Alguersuari need to be scoring big points if they want to finish near the top of the constructors championship.

“We are at a stage in the season now where every point that we can earn is important. My teammate, Jaime Alguersuari, and I really need to be earning double figures in Moscow to put ourselves in a position to push for a championship win when we finish the season in London in a few weeks time. In Monaco and Berlin, I raced extremely well and so if I can qualify strongly in Moscow then I see no reason why we can not be at the top of the podium on Saturday evening,” said Sam Bird.

Jamie Alguersuari has been getting more confident with his Virgin car after he found the answer to a few of his problems in Long Beach. The Spanish driver feels that there is no reason why he can’t finish on the podium this weekend.

“I am extremely confident in my Virgin Racing car and I believe that as a team, we can definitely earn a podium here in Moscow. I am a very competitive driver and I enter every race knowing that I am fast and with a fast car, we can definitely win in Russia and enter the London finale on a high,” said Alguersuari.
