Romain Grosjean: I don’t think I’ve been doing anything silly in the starts – Formula 1 news
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean has said that he is not upset by the incidents in the season so far which caused him to retire in several races.
“I think in Australia I couldn’t do much, Malaysia it was my mistake - I spun on the wet and I admit it - and then Monaco; what do you want to do?” Grosjean said. “That’s just the way it is, and if you fight at the front it’s sometimes more difficult. I
don’t have any problem with that, I haven’t been over aggressive crashing in to everybody. It is as it is unfortunately, sometimes everything goes perfectly together, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t think I’ve been doing anything silly in the starts.”
The French driver is presently standing at 8th place in the drivers’ championship with 35 points. Moreover, he is 6 points ahead of Pastor Maldonado of Williams and 10 points behind Jenson Button of McLaren.
Even though, he has shown quite impressive performances in the qualifying of three of the first six grands prix but he could not score any points in either of the races as he was retired.
Nonetheless, he came 6th in the third race held at Shanghai International Circuit in China after setting off from 10th grid position. In addition, he secured an incredible third podium finish in the fourth race at Bahrain International circuit in Sakhir
after starting the race from 7th place in the grid.
Besides, he came 4th in the fifth race at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona after qualifying for 3rd grid position. Therefore, it can be assessed that he has performed quite convincingly in the season until now.
Additionally, he said that there car E20 is capable enough of claiming victory in the races ahead while he said that they are trying to make the essential advancements and the necessary preparations so as to improve the pace of their car for the season ahead.
Above and beyond, he said that he is positively looking forward to perform well in the 2012 Canadian GP which is to be held at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal on June 10.
