New disillusionment for Grosjean

After his retirement last weekend in Melbourne, Romain Grosjean was keen to finish the race to collect his first points in F1. The Frenchman did not hold his objective for long. Author of a splendid start propelling him from sixth to third place, the Lotus driver spun following contact with Michael Schumacher (Mercedes). The GP2 Series champion finally retired on the third lap, finding himself stuck in the gravel trap.

For Romain Grosjean, this new disillusionment comes above all from Michael Schumacher, responsible for the accident according to him. “I was paying attention (after my start) and Schumacher came into contact with me at turn 4 and I unfortunately spun”, he explained to the Reuters agency. “The rain then intensified. Kimi (Räikkönen) was in the pits and we couldn't change our tires at the same time. I had to stay on track with the intermediates, but I simply couldn't drive the car anymore. car. I no longer had any visibility, it?s really very difficult. I'm very disappointed because I think we could get a good result here. »
