Stewart: “Lotus can win today”
casinoenligne.uk.com met Jackie Stewart in the paddock of Barcelona a few minutes before the start of the Spanish Grand Prix. The Scottish triple world champion kindly agreed to answer a few questions before the grid lineup.
Since the beginning of the season, it is clear that the Lotus team has a car capable of competing for top positions in the race. After Räikkönen missed the podium in China, the team achieved a very good overall result in Bahrain with the Finnish driver’s second place and Romain Grosjean’s third place.
This afternoon, the Lotus drivers will start from the second row of the grid, which ideally places them for the race. For Jackie Stewart, whom casinoenligne.uk.com met in the Barcelona paddock a few minutes before the start, the English team could well emerge victorious today.
« It’s not impossible. I think Räikkönen or Grosjean can win. I think the car is better prepared for the race than it was for the qualification so you can never say never, » reacted Stewart on the microphone of casinoenligne.uk.com.
Initially, it is Romain Grosjean who is best placed with third place on the grid, and for Jackie Stewart, it would be a good thing to see a young driver win this afternoon, even though we should not forget Räikkönen, who has returned to his best form.
« I think they can both win. It would be great to have a young driver on the top step of the podium. It would be fantastic for Romain to win his first Grand Prix. »
Another team making headlines this weekend is Williams, with Pastor Maldonado’s pole position (following Hamilton’s disqualification). The Scot who knows Franck Williams well is obviously delighted for him.
« It’s very good, I’m very, very happy for Frank Williams who just celebrated his 70th birthday, it’s great, » rejoices Stewart.
