Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. Jolyon Palmer says he is not sure Renault appreciates the job he and teammate Kevin Magnussen are doing this season in a difficult car.Renault has recorded just eight points and occupies ninth in the constructors standings after enduring a difficult 2016. Magnussens seventh place in Russia was followed by an 11-race point-scoring drought, though the team has enjoyed an upturn in fortunes in recent races, as Magnussen finished 10th in Singapore, before Palmers claimed his first F1 point at the Malaysian Grand Prix two weeks later.Despite a change of form Palmer feels Renault is not giving either driver the credit they deserve, highlighted by the decision to sign Nico Hulkenberg for next year -- which leaves at least one of Magnussen or Palmer without a seat at the team for 2017.I think they appreciated the race drive, do I think they appreciate everything weve done? Im not sure, Palmer said. I think neither of us are getting enough credit. I think Kevin has done some great races as well and I think hes proven in 2014 what he can do in a good car.Hes done a good job this year and hes probably lost a bit of credit from where he was in 2014, and I think neither of us probably have not got the credit we deserve in a difficult car. And thats spurred on by the fact that one of us will be replaced. The car has been tricky and I think weve both done well, with mistakes but I think at certain points weve been doing a good job.The Briton admits the signing of Hulkenberg did not come as a surprise to him and hopes his performances of late will be enough to secure the sole remaining seat at Renault.ddddddddddddIve known from Japan really that something was going to happen. Not entirely surprising and then I guess it all got rushed through last week, but not a big shock.Nothing changes from my point of view. Im just going to keep showing what I can do, the last two weekends have been strong so I think things have been getting better and better this year, I can only just keep doing what I can do and the rest of it is out of my hands.While Renault remains his number one target for next year, Palmer says he will now be forced to consider options elsewhere.I want to stay with Renault but I need to look somewhere else as well because someone is going to be disappointed at the end of the day. I want to stay in Formula One, I want it to be with Renault. I can only do the best I can from my point of view every weekend, prove why I should be here but I should be looking around because I need to be looking there as well.My whole focus has been on Renault and it still is, obviously we need to look around. The Force India seat has been closed until last week, so thats now a good option because the car is pretty quick, but year I think the main focus is doing a good job here.Palmer added: Im not tied to anything now, I want to stay here but if an opportunity comes up elsewhere then its up to me to decide if it worth waiting here or going somewhere else. Id rather find out sooner rather than later. ' ' '
