Grosjean: “Suzuka is my favorite circuit”

The French driver from Lotus F1 Team will compete in the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend with great ambitions, after the very good race it achieved last Sunday in South Korea. Especially since the Suzuka circuit is a track that he really likes. “ I know I'm not the only one who thinks this, but Suzuka is my favorite circuit on the calendar. This is only the third time I've been there and I can't wait to be there. It's a track that allows drivers to show their talent and the slightest mistake can make a big difference », specified the 27-year-old driver who had attracted the wrath of Mark Webber due to a collision at the start

Grosjean would also like to obtain a good result in front of Japanese fans who are always very demonstrative. “ These supporters are in another category! They wear T-Shirts, special caps and lots of things they made themselves to support the drivers for a weekend, he remarked. I remember last year when [Kamui] Kobayashi got his first podium, my ears were ringing for a long time, it was incredible ».

Currently eighth in the Drivers' standings with 72 points, Romain Grosjean could seize the seventh position held by Felipe Massa at the end of the weekend if he delivers another good performance.
