Jolyon Palme🐈r is heading into this wꦓeekend's Hungarian Grand Prix hopeful of a change in fortune after a luckless Formula 1 run, capped off by a DNS at Silverstone eight days ago.

Pal🤪mer has failed to score a single point for Renault through the openi✤ng half of the 2017 season, struggling to match the form of team-mate Nico Hulkenberg, who has a score of 26 to his name.

Palmer has finished 11th on three occasions and looked to be in the running ✃for points at the British Grand Prix, only to be forced to park up before the race had even started due to an issue onꦇ his car.

"I have burnt the unlucꦬky underpants, so they are now out 👍of the way!" Palmer joked in Renault's pre-race preview.

"I'm not superstitious, bu🐬t yꦇou have to say this run of bad luck has to end.

"The big negative was obviously not being able to start the race. That was unbelievably frustrating, especially as it was my home Grand Pr🗹ix and I had a lot of suppor﷽t. I couldn't believe it.

"But, on the positives, there were certainly a couple of good things from Silverstone. My quali🦄fying pace was decent and I managed my second best run of the season. I drove with the new floor in FP1 and it was working nicely, meaning I'm hap🐟py to have it for Budapest.

"Nico showed the benefit of the floor across last weekend with his strong qualifying and race pace. Iꦡt's exciting for the team as we looked competitive 🌠and ahead of our midfield rivals. That's all I hope for in Hungary."
