Traditional media frenzy in front of the Lotus stand. Romain Grosjean is surrounded by a flock of cameras and microphones. The Frenchman is still popular, despite Lotus’s poor start to the season. The Spanish Grand Prix, however, gave the impression of a revival for the black and gold team, which quickly faded in Monaco and Canada.<\/p>\n
Don’t talk about relapse to Romain Grosjean! “It’s you, the media, who say that!” he says with a smile. In China and Spain, we were heading in the right direction. In Monaco and Canada, it was tougher. It was in Monaco that there was a warning signal. The car clearly needed improvement. He attributes the drop in performance to the peculiarities of the Monaco and Canadian tracks.<\/p>\n
It could therefore improve as soon as this weekend at the Red Bull Ring, a circuit he knows neither from Eve nor Adam. We are going to discover the track. There are some interesting corners. It’s a beautiful place, and we should have good weather. But maybe not a lot of overtaking. We shouldn’t expect it to be like in Bahrain! It should be more like a race at Silverstone. Turn 1 should be the only overtaking opportunity, unlike Turn 2. It’s really uphill, and the braking is very short. That’s why they didn’t put a DRS zone there, I think.<\/p>\n
The hilly Spielberg circuit might be a good opportunity for him to bring Lotus a bit closer to the top, which they haven’t reached since the start of the season.<\/p>\n
