After an encouraging start during qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix last weekend, the first outing of the Lotus E23 Hybrid Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado had ended in the first round. The stable ofenstone expects a lot from the next meeting in Malaysia (March 27-29) to make the race a reality.

“Our goal for the first Grands Prix is to be regularly in the top 10, admits Romain Grosjean. Our pace in the race simulations is good, so if we stay in the race we should finish with a good result. There is no suggestion that this is not the case in Malaysia. »

“It looks like we are regular contenders for Q3, but we want more, like reducing the gap on Williams, and move away from the group behind us, continues Nick Chester, Lotus Technical Director. We are satisfied because we have a good base to work on. Drivers love driving the E23. They can push her to the limit. We can focus on performance. »
