French Lotus driver, Romain Grosjean, has admitted that it would be an honour to follow in the footsteps of Formula 1 legend and three times World Champion Aryton Senna and win a race for Lotus.
This season Grosjean has managed three podium finishes, twice crossing the finishline in third and once in second. A Grand Prix victory still eludes him though, but the Frenchman, who was born in Geneva, Switzerland, does not feel that following in the footsteps of the Brazilian legend adds to the pressure to win.
"I do not think the pressure to win is more," Grosjean was quoted as telling Totalrace. "I think that Formula 1 is already filled with pressure. If we win, it will be fantastic for the team personnel in the factory for all we have done since the beginning of the year and all we have achieved. And if I was the first driver to win for Lotus since Ayrton Senna, it would be something more to the process and more a cause for happiness. It would be even more of a pleasure."
