Romain Grosjean believes that victory will come soon – Formula 1 news
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean believes that he will soon be able to achieve victory in the approaching 2012 Formula 1 season, regardless of his retirement in the European Grand Prix.
Grosjean insisted that they have performed quite convincingly in the season so far and have emerged as one of the most competitive contenders as they are in a position to challenge any top team.
Furthermore, he said that he is confidently looking forward to perform well in the British GP which is to be held at Silverstone Circuit on July 8.
“We made a real step forwards in Valencia, understanding some performance considerations which will help us for the rest of the season,” Grosjean said. “I can't wait to put them into practice at Silverstone. Ultimately, we didn't finish, but through no fault of our own. I was as sad as the team. The win was there for taking, but it just got away. I have to be patient. I didn't achieve my first win in Valencia, but I am convinced that it will come. It's great to fight with World Champions, proper big teams. We are now a big team.”
The French driver is currently standing on the seventh place in the drivers’ championship with 53 points. Moreover, he is 4 points ahead of Jenson Button of McLaren and 20 points behind his teammate, Kimi Raikkonen.
Even though, he has retired in four out of first eight grands prix in the season until now, however, he has performed amazingly well and has secured two podium finishes.
Meanwhile, the Enstone based team is presently at third place in the constructors’ championship with 126 points. In addition, they are 4 points ahead of Ferrari and 11 points behind McLaren.
It will be quite interesting to note that during the start of the season, the team principal of Lotus, Eric Boullier said that they should not be deemed as the second class team anymore as they have got all what it takes to be the world champion.
Over and above, they are trying their best to make the considerable advancements and the essential preparations so as to come up stronger in the forthcoming races.
