Romain Grosjean overheating

The weekends follow one another and are the same for Romain Grosjean. Already the victim of a cooling problem in Germany, the Habs once again encountered a system leak on their Lotus E22 today in Hungary. On an event where heat could play a role in performance, this new problem reduced the Frenchman's riding today.

“The car seems pretty good here, although we missed a large part of the afternoon session due to a problem with the cooling system. It’s a circuit that I obviously love, and it was frustrating to miss track time because that’s what is needed to improve the car. As always, we still have work to do before qualifying tomorrow, where we will give it our all because grid position is very important here. » explains Grosjean.

A situation in complete contrast, since at the same time, the Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado did not encounter the slightest avatar on his car and was able to cover 68 laps in total during the two free practice sessions. “We will have to warm up the tires tomorrow. It should be just as warm tomorrow, so that will be a positive. » admits the former pilot Williams.

The third test session will begin tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. and will be followed live on AUTOhebdo.fr.
