Lotus driver Romain Grosjean says he has a point to prove in 2013 – Formula 1 news
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean has said that he has a point to prove in the 2013 Formula 1 season after facing immense criticism over his harsh driving in 2012.
Grosjean took part in his first full season in the sport with Lotus in the preceding year. He performed inspiringly well in the first few races and impressed everyone with his talent. However, he failed to score points with consistency during the season
and could not attain competitive results for his team.
Furthermore, he faced a lot of criticism over his rough driving style due to which many accidents were caused. Besides, he was also banned to take part in one of the grands prix last year.
On the other hand, his teammate, Kimi Raikkonen performed amazingly well during the last year and secured third place in the drivers’ championship. Although, the Finnish driver could only claim one race victory in the preceding season, but he performed with
tremendous consistency and scored competitive points for his team in almost all the races.
Even though, the Frenchman could not deliver his best in the last season. But, he is not feeling disappointed and is positively looking forward to deliver his best in his season.
“I think everyone is waiting to see if I'm able to be consistent, which is where I was lacking a little bit last year,” Grosjean said. “I know it and I'll do everything I can to prove to people that I'm able to achieve this goal.”
In addition, he said that he has learnt a lot from his mistakes and will hopefully come up stronger in this season.
“All the elements of a Formula 1 season including the travelling - energy-wise, managing the jet lag - the media and marketing stuff, the physical demands and preparation for driving the car are quite something. I know what I need much better now and that's
what I've learnt from last year,” he added.
The Enstone based squad have recently unveiled their 2013 car. Additionally, their team principal, Eric Boullier has said that their aim is to attain better results in this season for which they are working very hard.
