Romain Grosjean Targets Stronger Results In 2013 (VIDEO)


With French oil and gas company Total pledging its full support to Romain Grosjean in his second full F1 season with Lotus, the 26 year old is hoping to do much better than he did this year. The Geneva-born Frenchman, who has been criticised for his driving in 2012, is seemingly adamant about getting things sorted out. "I think it mainly comes from myself," Grosjean said. "We had a lot of discussions with the team to see what was wrong, and we have been working since September on it. Now, over the winter, I will work twice as hard. At the end of the day you are on your own in the car, you have to take your own decisions, and you have to make the right ones. We improved in a lot of areas last year, so now it will be about putting everything together." Grosjean, who continues to race alongside Kimi Räikkönen next year, looked back to this year's campaign to point out what went wrong. "I think it was just sometimes about having the wrong goals and objectives," Grosjean said. "It was about being over-aggressive and that is what we have been working on. It was not an easy end to the season with the pressure, trying to do no mistakes and trying to control anything. I wasn't driving natural anymore, and you end up making mistakes because you are trying too much to be careful. It was hard to recover after the ban, and there wasn't much time before I was straight back in the car. So it was a tough time, but it has taught me a lot and we know what we need to work on now." Having secured a new deal for next season before the Christmas break has been a relief for Grosjean, as it gives hime more time to relax before the pre-season work starts. "It helps me sleep better and relax for a week at least. It is very good news for me and I was waiting and hoping for it. I am very pleased for it, proud of the confidence in the team and looking forward to restarting the adventure with them," the Frenchman said. (in French)
