Lotus driver Romain Grosjean insists they are working hard to make improvements – Formula 1 news
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean has said that he is working hard with his engineers to make improvements in their car to attain better results in the season ahead.
Grosjean took a struggling start to this season as he could only score one point in the season opener with his 10th place finish after setting off from
8th grid slot. Later, he delivered a convincing performance in the Malaysian Grand Prix, but could only secure 6th place finish after taking a start from 11th grid position. Then, he came 9th in the Chinese GP after
qualifying for 6th grid position.
On the other hand, his teammate, Kimi Raikkonen has performed tremendously well in the first three rounds of the season. He claimed an impressive victory in the
Australian GP and secured an incredible second podium finish in the third race at Shanghai International Circuit in China. The Finn is currently standing at second place in this year’s drivers’ championship. Besides, he is ahead of Fernando Alonso of Ferrari
and behind Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing.
The French driver has said that he is feeling a little bit frustrated because he has not been able to make the most out of his car in the season until now.
“I would be lying if I said the car is exactly where I want it and we are having quite an adventure to get the setup and feeling from the car how we want it,” Grosjean
said. “This is very frustrating for a driver, as you want your car to be obedient.”
Nonetheless, he expressed that they are trying their best to improve the pace of their car in order to compete well with their rivals. He also said that he is working
hard with his race engineers to enhance his pace so as to score competitive points for his team in the forthcoming races.
“Certainly, we're not the only team who are having a difficult time early in the season, but it's something we really want to get on top of as quickly as possible.
I'm spending a lot of time with my engineers and we're all working hard to make improvements,” he added.
